Families can prepare as many shoeboxes as you wish. You can choose to do one for the entire family. Select items that fit for either a girl or boy in one of the age ranges listed: ages 2-4, ages 5-9, ages 10-14.
Suggested items to fill the boxes:

The boxes can be wrapped BUT the top must be separate. The top will be secured to the box with a rubber band.
Each box you prepare is requested to be accompanied by $7. (If you can't afford the amount- you can pay what you can OR just simply donate the box). You can either place a check in the box, place one check for multiple boxes in one box OR pre-pay on line. If you chose pre-pay on-line you will get a label to print out and attach to your box. You can actually track the country your box is delivered to.
