Here are a few examples, thoughts, and tips to inspire you: 1. Donate items: The first step in filling a shoebox is gathering items to put inside. SoFlo OCC has a wish list link on their website where you can find suggestions for what to include. Consider items like toys, school supplies, hygiene products, and small clothing items. Every little item can make a big difference in a child's life. 2. Host a packing party: Get your friends, family, or coworkers involved by hosting a shoebox packing party. Set up stations with different items and have everyone fill a shoebox together. It's a fun and meaningful way to spend time together while making a positive impact. 3. Volunteer at collection events: SoFlo OCC hosts collection events throughout the year where people can drop off their filled shoeboxes. Consider volunteering at one of these events to help organize and pack the donated shoeboxes. It's a great way to connect with others who share your passion for giving back. 4. Spread the word: Share the mission of SoFlo OCC and Operation Christmas Child with your friends, family, and social media followers. The more people who know about this cause, the more shoeboxes can be filled and delivered to children in need. Use the hashtag #FillAShoebox to join the conversation and inspire others to get involved. 5. Make a financial donation: If you're unable to fill a shoebox yourself, consider making a financial donation to SoFlo OCC. Your donation will go towards purchasing items for shoeboxes and covering the costs of shipping them to children around the world. Every dollar makes a difference. Remember, the impact of every shoebox goes beyond the physical items inside. It's about bringing joy, hope, and the message of Jesus Christ to children in desperate need. By donating and filling a shoebox today, you can be a part of something truly special. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children around the world.
