CHRISTMAS SHOE BOX PROJECT

SHOE BOX PROJECT
The Shoe Box Project began with the need of so many women at Christmastime.
It takes place all over the world.  
As you know, our community is no different.
Freedom Kitchen has graciously offered to hand out the shoe boxes to those in need at the beginning of December.
That way families will have special gifts for Christmas day.
If you would like to participate in putting together the shoeboxes, there will be a sign-up sheet in the Narthex closer to the date.
If you are able to bring empty shoe boxes, decorated or not along with any of the following contents, there will be a box in the Narthex.
Just an F.Y.I Dollarama has pre-decorated Christmas boxes which make the job much easier! We will be be putting the boxes together on Wednesday, November 27^th from 6:30pm-8:00pm
