Operation Christmas Child Photo Blog

At IBC, we're participating in Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan's Purse, where we pack up shoeboxes full of toys to be shipped out to children around the world. This year, we had a gift-wrapping party with some of the members and I did a photo sequence of how to put together a box. Hopefully this will encourage you to participate, too!

Thanks to Alice for modeling! =)

1) Start with an empty shoe box

2) Gift wrap the lid and the bottom of the box separately

3) Put in toys, school supplies, hygiene materials for
the appropriate age group and gender of the child
you're choosing to give the box to.

4) Check the gender and age group of the child on the label provided and cut it out. 
5) Write a check for $7 to Samaritan's Purse for shipping costs and place it in the box.

6) Tape the label to the box.

7) Tada! The box is locked and loaded for delivery.

You can be part of having a child make this face!

Thanks everyone for helping out! =)
