This year, The Del Air Rockhounds have
chosen “Operation Christmas Child”, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, as our
holiday charity. We ask all members, friends and guests to “Pack a Shoebox” for
an underprivileged child this Christmas. Here’s how it works:
1.
Use an empty cardboard or plastic shoebox (average
size). You can wrap the box & lid separately, but wrapping is not required.
2.
Decide whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl,
and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Pick-up a label from club member Emmy
Silverman or download one from http://www.samaritanspurse.org.
Use the appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category and tape the
label to the top of your box.
3.
Fill with gifts. Fill the box with a variety of gifts
that will bring delight to a child. See below for gift ideas.
4.
Help cover shipping and other costs related to
delivering your shoeboxes to children overseas by donating $7 for each gift you
prepare. You can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on the memo
line) and place it in an envelope on top of the items inside your shoebox. If
you are preparing multiple gifts, please make one combined donation.
- Place a rubber band around each closed shoebox and bring it to our general meeting on Thursday November 6, 2014 and club member Emmy Silverman will deliver them to Samaritan’s Purse for delivery to children around the world.
Gift Ideas:
- Toys: Include items that children will immediately embrace such as dolls, toy cars, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, balls, toys that light up and make noise (with extra batteries), etc.
- School Supplies: pens, pencils and sharpeners, crayons, markers, notebooks, paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.
- Non-Liquid Hygiene Items: toothbrushes, bar soap, combs, washcloths, etc.
- Accessories: t-shirts, socks, hats, sunglasses, hair clips, jewelry, watches, flashlights (with extra batteries), etc.
- A Personal Note: 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 be able to write back.
