Last Minute Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Donations

Didn't get your Operation Christmas Child shoebox in before the deadline this year? You can still fill a box online or drop it off to OCC processing centers. Here's a list of places. You can also mail your box to this address: Operation Christmas Child Headquarters, 801 Bamboo, Road, Boone, NC 28607. Don't have time to do a box? Samaritan's Purse has a new online "Build a Box" feature. For $30 (that includes the $7 shipping/handling fee) staff members will pack and ship a box for you. You get to choose what items are included by checking them off from a menu. You can also do this for someone else. You pay the $ and your friend gets to "pack the box" (great for kids, godchildren). Please consider doing one of these as OCC didn't get enough boxes this year. Here's the build a box link to do that. Catholics, remember, Advent is a lesser penitential season, meaning we observe the same virtues we did in Lent: almsgiving, fasting and prayer. A Christmas shoebox donation makes a great almsgiving activity. For my list of best Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts, click the title link.
