Individuals, families, and groups still have time to transform empty shoeboxes into fun gifts. The project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children in need. You can find a step-by-step guide on the How to Pack a Shoebox webpage. “Now more than ever, children around the world need to know that God loves them and there is hope,” Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, said. “A simple shoebox gift opens the door to share about the true hope than can only be found in Jesus Christ.”
