Operation
Christmas Child is a hands on project where it gives key
clubbers a chance to participate in the Governor’s project
rather than just raising funds. Our goal for this year to
fill, pack and ship is 1500 boxes. With determination we
can exceed this goal. Feel free to ask any questions or

HOW TO PACK A SHOE BOX
1. Shoe Box
Use an empty shoe box
(standard size) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required.
2. BOY OR GIRL?
Determine whether your gift
will be for a boy or a girl, and
the child's age category: 2-4,
5-9, or 10-14. Mark the correct age category on the label and tape the label to the top of your box.
3. Include Your Donation
Please donate $7 or more for
each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs. If you are preparing more than one shoe box, please make one combined donation.
4. Fill With Gifts
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring joy to a child.
5. Drop Off
Place a rubber band around each closed shoe box and drop it off at the nearest Collection Center during our collection week in mid-November. You can also send your shoe box gift to:
