If you haven't and want to make Christmas a little special for a needy child, just log onto Samaritan's Purse website. All you do is fill a shoebox full of small items for a boy or girl and drop it off ( the locations will be on the website for your city). It's a great way to get your children involved in giving as well.

Oh yes! we do it every year. A great way to get the kids involved and teach them about giving. My kids would always write a letter and send a picture of themselves along to. Samaritans Purse also has many other ways to help all through the year. They have a website www.samaritanspurse.org and they send out great literature. I have even received great books and daily inspirational things as a thank you from them. It is a great NPO and I am glad you are reminding people. I hope everyone participates this year.
God Bless!!!!!!!!!

My ex bf church did this for school supplies. It is such an awesome thing to do. I think it would be great if the concept were expanded to help children here in the US as well

this really is a cool thing, I know a few people who were in Cambodia, when the shoe boxes arrived, and they past them out to the kids, and they said that it was absolutely amazing to see the kids get the gift. my kids enjoy fill up the shoe boxes, they have a fun time doing that

it's a very trusted Christian organization, who delivers goods to severely impoverished areas of the world
