Christmas is coming...the shoebox is getting fat!

How fat can a shoebox get??
Since going to the Processing center I can honestly say they can get pretty fat!
Let's review:
Things not to put in a shoebox:
1. Liquids- this includes gels, bubbles
2. No guns or war related stuff.
3. No Halloween stuff. Remember sometimes boxes go to places that still practice Voo Doo.
4. No rubber snakes! In some places in the world parents teach kids alll snaaakes are dangerous. And most of the time they are!
5. No food! This means rice, canned spam (even though this will last forever)!
6. Nothing glass - mirrors, porcelin dolls etc.

Great Ideas for Shoeboxes!
1. Soap and washclothes
2. School supplies- all kinds
3. Solid color T-shirts
4. Underware
5. Pencils and pens
There are so many other great ideas out there the list can go on and on!

Make your calls today in your area and contacts about Community Kick-off on Sept 6th.
I do need a few helpers to set up stuff so please let me know if you are coming so that I can give you an assignment. It only happens if you all are willing to help.
Love you all!
Go Team!
