Save the Date!
// Emily Pearson
Can you believe it’s July and time to save the date for Shoebox Drive 2025?
As we enjoy the summer warmth, Christmas seems far off, yet our Shoebox Drive is within our view. October 1 through December 31, we’ll have an opportunity to partner together to provide gifts for children in Haiti that could be life changing. As we provide for material needs through gifts, we have the unique opportunity to share spiritual truth with families in Haiti.
Young students at New Missions' Leogane-Guillaume school are happy to receive their shoebox gifts.
Shoebox gift distribution at New Missions Lassale school brings joy to 6th grade students.
There are a few ways to participate. We offer shoebox gifts that are prepacked on your behalf and can be purchased for any child, sponsored or unsponsored. You can also pack an individual shoebox with your family and send it to us through your church’s shoebox drive or simply ship it to our Orlando office.
Every shoebox gift is delivered complete with a gospel tract–sharing the Good News of salvation through Jesus.
If you pack your own gift, we want you to know that there are specific elements of your shoebox gifts that are loved, appreciated, and even requested. We’re calling it “The Shoebox Top Five.” For boys aged 3-11, some of the requested items include: soccer balls, sunglasses, t-shirts, and shorts. For girls aged 3-11, most loved gifts are water bottles, underwear, clothes, toothpaste, and hair accessories. Both boys and girls aged 12 years and older love to receive deodorant, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, and body lotion. ~Emily Pearson
