Pinewood’s November Mission Project: Shoeboxes

By: Liliana Mercer, Sophomore

Our new monthly mission at PCA is gathering shoeboxes for the Navajo children. These shoeboxes give joy to kids that aren’t able to afford or receive Christmas presents. The ages range from 2-5, 6-9, 10-14, and 15-18. Bring in as many as you feel led to make.

What you need to do first:

• Choose the gender.
• Choose the age listed at the top.
• Make sure that you label the box with the gender and the age.
• One plastic container about the size of a shoebox.

A list of items that you may include:

• School supplies such as pens, pencils, crayons, markers, writing pads, coloring books, etc.
• Toys such as small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, jump ropes, flashlights, and any other small toys appropriate for their age
• You may also include toiletries such as a toothbrush, toothpaste (small), combs, washcloths, t-shirts, socks, etc.
• All candy must be placed into Ziploc bags.
• Lastly, include at least $2.00 per box to help with shipping
