Shoebox Drive Party
// Ainsley Moree
Shoebox season has officially begun!
Our office has already been busy the past few months getting our pre-packed shoeboxes prepared. It has only been possible with the amazing help of volunteers. They are a true testament that together, we can do more.
Here is a sneak peek into our shoeboxes for girls ages 8-12 as they are being packed.
While not everyone can join us in our Orlando office to volunteer, you can still serve right where you are. We want to encourage you to make shoebox packing more than an individual project this year. You can host a packing party with your neighbors, Bible study group, homeschool co-op, classroom, youth group, etc. Buying supplies in bulk and/or organizing a shopping trip with family and friends is a great starting point. What an impactful way to teach children and teens about generosity and serving God’s Kingdom. If packing physical boxes is a challenge, you can encourage your group to see how many boxes you can preorder together. Get creative and have fun! Challenge yourself to see how you can include fellowship and community with this year’s shoebox season. We can do more by working together.
Students from Woodridge Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, helped prepare cosmetic bags for 500 pre-packed shoeboxes.
This is a small representation of how many volunteers have helped with our pre-packed shoeboxes.
However you choose to serve the children of New Missions during the Shoebox Drive, may you keep Jesus and His love at the center. “We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 ~Ainsley Moree
