“Struggling children and families need hope,” said Kendra Shields, director of Operation Christmas Child. “This is the essence of Operation Christmas Child. Every shoebox gift is an opportunity for a child to learn that he or she matters to Canadians… That’s why I want everyone to help as many children in need as possible by packing shoeboxes.”
Shoebox donations need to be accompanied by a $10 donation to “cover shipping and other program costs.”
Last year, 415,000 Canadian shoeboxes were sent to struggling countries around the world.
In the last 30 years, 200 million shoeboxes have been delivered to over 100 countries.
