Operation Christmas Child is a 'global Christmas gift exchange' project operated by Samaritan's Purse. Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the message of Gods unconditional love.
GSBC?s Sisters of Grace would like to get a head start on this mission opportunity. Our plan is to collect different items each month starting in June and pack the shoe boxes in November. A basket will be provided in the foyer for the items. The age categories for the boys and girls are (2-4 years old), (5-9 years old) and (10-14 years old). Following are items needed each month:
JUNE - Hygiene Items - Toothbrush, toothpaste, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), washcloth, comb, etc.
JULY - Toys for BOYS - Small cars, balls, stuffed animals, kazoos,
yo-yos, harmonicas, small Etch A Sketch, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky, etc.
AUGUST - School Supplies - Pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, writing pads or paper, coloring and picture books, solar calculators, etc.
SEPTEMBER - Toys for GIRLS - Dolls, balls, stuffed animals, kazoos, jump ropes, yo-yos, harmonicas, small Etch A Sketch, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky, etc.
OCTOBER - Other - Hard candy and lollipops (please double bag all candy), mints, gum, socks, ball caps, T-shirts, sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches, flashlights (with extra batteries)
