Packing a Box
Several Choices this year for you to pack a box:
- Donate items and place in the coloured tiny bins in the gym foyer. These items will be packed by the Youth Group into boxes.
- Collect an empty box, choose your boy/girl and age and then pack your own box. Bring the box back to the gym prior to the 30th August.
- Jump online and choose to purchase a pre-paid box so that all the items are ready for the youth to pack.
- Donate the $13 for shipping to ensure our boxes get to the right kids. You can donate here
Operation Christmas Child is an international program that delivers shoeboxes packed with items to children in countries where they have little chance to celebrate Christmas. We pack as many boxes as we can, for girls and boys between the ages of 2 and 14.
So. . . bring in items, pack your own box, or purchase a pre-paid box that our Youth Group will pack on Friday 30th August! All will help us pack 100 boxes for kids in countries like Vietnam, PNG and Fiji this Christmas.
