Mindful Mondays: Teach Your Family About Holiday Giving with Operation Christmas Child!

Before the holiday season gets crazy, why not show your kids how great it is to give by filling up a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child. You’ll need to decide what gender (boy or girl) and age your box will be given to (2-4, 5-9, or 10-14). Simply fill a shoebox (cardboard or plastic) with suggested items such as small toys, school supplies, non-liquid hygiene items, accessories, handwritten note and more. Go online and donate $7 to help with shipping costs. You can also write a check and include in your box but if you give online you can track where your box ends up! Pray for the child who will receive your box. Drop off your box at one of the many collection sites nationwide. If you would like to do this project as a school or organization, boxes can be ordered for a suggested donation.
