Operation Christmas Child!

operation_christmas_child

Your mission should you accept it, go into your pantry, and cabinets and put some of your freebies to good use!

This is the week to get your Operation Christmas Child boxes put together and dropped off. These are so easy to make and are a wonderful Christmas present for so many kids.

Get instructions for putting a box together and then find a drop off location in your city. This is drop off week so make sure you get it in by November 23rd.

Here are some ideas for your box from their website:

TOYS
small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, 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, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.

HYGIENE ITEMS
toothbrush, toothpaste, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth, etc.

OTHER
Hard candy and lollipops (please double bag all candy), mints, gum, T-shirts, socks, ball caps; sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches, flashlights (with extra batteries)

A PERSONAL NOTE
In a separate envelope, you may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family. (If you include your name and address, the child may write back.)
