Operation Christmas Child

Box Size Requirements:

• A standard shoe box is requested. It is hard to pack and ship boot boxes - we ask that you do not use them.
• If you do not have a shoebox to donate, you can buy a plastic shoebox at a store (ie: Walmart) for about $1.

Suggested items for shoeboxes:

• Decide if you are packing for a BOY or GIRL
• Choose an age range for your items: (2-4), (5-9), or (10-14)
  
• Toys: small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, plastic kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, small Etch A Sketch®, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky, etc.
• School supplies: pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, coloring books, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, etc.
• Hygiene items: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, comb, washcloth, etc.
• Other: hard candy, lollipops, mints, gum, sunglasses, flashlights with extra batteries, ball caps, socks, T-shirts, toy jewelry sets, hair clips, watches, small picture books, etc.

Miscellaneous

• We will provide the wrapping paper and tape ... just bring your items with you to the program.
• We'll have music and enjoy our time together wrapping.
• If you are financially able, please include a $5 donation to cover the cost of shipping.

What if I just want to drop off a box already made up?

• Wrap the lid and box SEPERATELY (all boxes are inspected before shipping), place your items inside and put a rubberband around it.
• Make sure that you put a post-it-note on top with the gender and age the box is for.
• Drop off at the program or at 3115 Talley Student Center no later than noon on Friday November 12th.
