Each year, churches, organizations, and individuals, lovingly pack shoe boxes with gifts to send to children living in desperate situations in Haiti.  When a child opens a shoe box, they're opening more than a present picked out just for them, they are being reminded that there are others who care and are praying for them.  

This project is an opportuntiy for people of all ages to participate in a simple hands-on activity that has the power to bless a child in foundational way.  Give a gift that not only brings a smile to a child, but opens their heart to respond to the Gospel message and experience the real hope that changes lives.

How To Pack Your Joy Box

Step 1 - Pray

Please pray that God will touch the heart of each child who receives a Christmas Joy box.    This shoebox will be a great blessing to them.  

Step 2 - Filling your Shoe Box

Use a standard size empty shoe box or a small plastic container.  You can wrap the box (lid separately) but wrapping is not required.  This will allow your box to be processed and viewed by customs officers.   After filling the box with a variety of gifts geared towards your child’s gender and age(valued at around $20-$25), please place a strong rubber band around your box and lid.  Note:  Please make sure that the box weighs no more than 4lbs.

Label with Child’s Name:  Please place a label with the child's name & community they live in on the outside edge of the box.

Step 3 -  Shipping

Please donate $15 for each shoe box you prepare to help cover the shipping and customs fees.   Please give this donation to your coordinator.

 Each shoebox is a beautiful outpouring

of God's love to a child.
