Operation Christmas Drop-Help those less fortunate

Posted by Aaron Hackman for November 6, 2009

 

Operation Christmas Drop- Organized by Delta Zeta
Starting Monday October 26th until Friday November 20th
This program allows children from all over the world to celebrate Christmas.
 
How the Programs works:
1. The Shoe Box
Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required. Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift.
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. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label by downloading the artwork to the right. Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.
3. FILL WITH GIFTS
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child.  Use the gift ideas provided on the bottom of this page.
4. INCLUDE YOUR DONATION

Please donate $7 or more for each shoe box you prepare to help cover shipping and other project costs. You can give online by using our EZGIVE option, or you can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box. If you or your family are preparing more than one shoe box, please make one combined donation.
 
 
For more information pick up a pamphlet from Aaron Hackman- MU Greek Advisor room 321 Alumni or email Tricia Dowling at dowlingta21@mounties.mansfield.edu. The pamphlets tells ideas for gifts as well as what not to include in the boxes. Completed Shoe Boxes can be drop off at Aaron Hackman's office or contact Tricia Dowling for pick up.
