This week is National Shoebox Collection Week.
Shoeboxes include items such as toys, school supplies, hygiene items, plus personal notes and photos can be added. Boxes will then be delivered by Samaritan’s Purse to children in need around the world.

Thanks to the items that Canadians lovingly put in their shoeboxes, and the $12-per-box they donate to cover shipping and other program costs, Samaritan’s Purse is able to deliver the boxes to children around the world living in the midst of poverty, disease, war, and natural disaster.
