**PLEASE SIGN UP FOR ITEMS ON THE LINK BELOW!** Plan to join together with Christian single friends to pack shoeboxes for needy children through Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritans Purse. A small gift can have an eternal impact on a child's life, their families and their communities. God is at work through Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse continues to share the eternal hope of the Gospel and to serve in Jesus’ Name. We want boys and girls around the world to know that God loves them and has not forgotten them during times of fear, uncertainty, war and poverty. Plan to bring $25 or more to offset shipping costs and 2-3 dozen items. We are fundraising for the shipping costs as our goal is 500+ shoeboxes. The link will be provided soon. We may also need to purchase and provide shoeboxes this year so there will be a monetary need for that. If you would like to help with some purchases, please send a venmo donation to @Gina-Pickett. Our goal is again 500-700 boxes. I currently have about 450 OCC cardboard boxes. Still hoping to get 200 more without having to purchase. We also need to be praying about the donations that are needed with the boxes - Samaritans Purse requests $10 a box to help with the whole process - shipping, printing, customs, discipleship, etc. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E48AFA622A5FA7-echo2
