  1. Last night I was part of a huge group who did final checks through Samaritan's Purse shoe boxes before they were packed in huge containers for shipping. It was a great experience and I discovered something...for every boys box there were likely 50 girls boxes. This is such a fantastic program and a small way to share big love!

  2. Such a great thing to do together with the local and global God family!
    Interesting on the ratio of girls to boys boxes.Our daughter saw on OCC Facebook that the 10-14 boy category is very underrepresented, so we designated one of our two family boxes for a teenage boy.

    1. I love how it's so simple and accessible - most everyone we know can pack a shoebox!
      And then the amazing logistics of delivery begin to churn...
