Shoebox Generosity
// Tim DeTellis
As the first-grade school teacher in Masson, Haiti, Maniela Theo wakes up with excitement knowing today is the day to give her students gifts!
As they walk home from school, their little hearts are beating with gratitude because they carry with them a lot of love and generosity packed inside a shoebox.
Maniela Theo, our first-grade teacher in Masson, Haiti, helps distribute shoebox gifts to the students.
Pastor Richard Gay at our Masson church and school says, “The students don’t have the money to buy these things like dolls, soccer balls, soap, deodorant, and toothpaste. The kids are so happy to play with their new toys.”
How many shoeboxes will you pack to bless the lives of children and families?
Become part of spreading love and generosity this season. Will you pack a shoebox? Will you organize a packing party and invite others to join you in this great campaign? Each shoebox matters because each child matters, and we cannot do this without you! For packing ideas visit ShoeboxDrive.com. Please feel welcome to include a photo of your family and a favorite Scripture verse inside your shoebox.
Pastor Richard Gay, from our church and school in Masson, Haiti, knows each shoebox makes an impact.
If you don’t have time to pack a shoebox gift, you can order a shoebox packed on your behalf at ShoeboxDrive.com. This option still enables you to bless the life of a child and their family. Our Shoebox Drive campaign runs from October 1 through December 31. “We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 ~Tim DeTellis
