Operation Christmas Child - Boxes due at Nov. 16th FCA meeting

Operation Christmas Child:
Help Cornell FCA Help Bethel Grove Bible Church Help Needy Kids Around the World!!

Have any empty shoeboxes sitting in your closet? Here's a fabulous way to use it. Spend a few bucks on small toys that will fit inside the shoebox (think "Christmas in a box" for a child of a certain age) and then bring your filled box to FCA by November 16th. We'll collect them and team up with the Bethel Grove Bible Church crowd, who is sending a whole bunch to less fortunate children this Christmas season. Your toy box could end up on the other side of the world!

Things to Know:
- You can also use a small plastic container; fancy Christmas wrapping is not required.
- Determine whether your gift is for a boy or girl, and determine the appropriate age category for your gift box: age 2-4; age 5-9; or age 10-14. We'll hook you up with a way to label your package.
- Gift ideas include small toys (i.e. stuffed animals, dolls, balls, jump ropes, etc), school supplies, hygiene items, candy, a personal note ...
- If you include a note with the package, and your return address, the recipient will likely write back to you! How cool is that?

*Bring your filled box to FCA by our NOVEMBER 16th Meeting!!!
