If you have been reading along our
Spur of the Moment Operation Christmas Child packing party posts you will remember I mentioned we came up short on EMPTY boxes to fill! We sent out pleas far and wide to get boxes. My friend owns a small, discount craft/fabric store and I asked her if she would mind putting a plea out on her store's Facebook page. She said sure and shared on her personal page, too.

Because of those pleas enough shoe boxes came into the store to fill our need. I had given her OCC brochures, too, and she mentioned in the posts that if anyone wanted to pack their own box they could get all the information in the store.
My daughter received a text from her today that a church's women's group packed 17 boxes and dropped them off at the store! They also handed her a check made out to Samaritan's Purse to cover the shipping. And these boxes were PACKED FULL!! They are heavy! What a fun surprise came out of our need for empty shoeboxes!
If you would like to use the Wanted! Poster we made for collecting empty shoeboxes you can find it here:
