Here are some ideas from Samaritan's Purse for getting you child involved in this ministry.
◦Have an OCC theme for a child’s birthday party. Have attendees bring empty shoe boxes and supply filler items.
◦Moms and dads can have a special shopping day with their children to pick out shoe box gift items.
◦Have a neighborhood shoe box packing party.
Kids can also participate by writing a note to send in the box, telling about themselves. Younger kids can use the "About Me" printout provided on the Samaritan's Purse website. To print it out click here.
