Tracking Your Shoebox

I love this addition to Operation Christmas Child. Last year was the first year I tracked my boxes... and mine went to the Philippines!!! I always encourage people here on the blog and everyone I meet to send a photo and letter with their address.... most children will not be able to send a letter back, but SOME do. Plus the letter and photo are treasured by the child who receives the box.

But THIS.. following the box.. this means whether or not your child writes back you know where your shoebox went. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!

To track your shoebox, simply go to https://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/followyourbox/ and make the $7 donation for the shoebox there, print out the special label, attach it to the shoebox, and wait. YAY!!

Simple. Quick. Easy. And so very delightful!!!!!!!!

DROP OFF LOCATION

The Drop Off sites around the nation are now all closed.

If you already packed a shoebox you can mail it. Learn more at http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/

Or if you learned about it too late this year, or time slipped away, you can still build a shoebox online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ The boxes built online can be more expensive, especially if you are a sale shopper BUT they have all approved items and can go anywhere in the world, including areas where there are many restrictions, such as Muslim nations. So please consider this option if you still want to do a box.

And it is NEVER too early to start shopping and crafting towards next years' boxes! There are still hundreds of millions of children around the world in desperate poverty and needing the love of Jesus.
