Operations Child Shoeboxes ready to roll to Lawton Ok Baptist Church. These 8 boxes are completely packed with fun items.
This was my first year to do the boxes. This is thru the Samaritan's Purse. I have been buying all year for the boxes. I also put back the $9.00 for shipping fee's for each box.
This charity really tugged at my heart strings.
I watched so many YouTube videos on what other's packed. I did lots of research on what to send and not to send. For instance no liquids or toothpaste or army play figurines are big no no's. I made sure to add hygiene items, school items and a few toys to each box. I actually made 13 boxes this year.
This is one of the boxes I sent for a girl 10-14 years old. It also has a doll that went in the box for the wow factor. I would have loved all these items at that age or even at my age! Wish I had taken a picture of each box I had packed. Shame on me!! I actually found 3 more boxes hidden that I was working on to send. That will give me a head start on 2022.
I already know that I am not going to pack 13 boxes. I am going to do less but with more quality to them. Better wow items and such. I also want to make sure to add a clothing item to each box. I am thinking shirt, shorts, undies or even undies or shoes.
I have another charity that I want to do for 2022. I will makea new blog post about that later on. It is something Luther and I are planning on donating to this upcoming year.
