LOVE IN A SHOEBOX
Join in on a great trip to Mexico in person or through a Christmas shoebox as we reach out once again and “invite all people to receive, demonstrate and declare God’s transforming grace.” If you can’t go you can participate in one of our Christmas shoeboxes. Just pick one up on Sundays in the Fellowship Hall or at the church office during the week. We’ll make this one of the best years ever!
Questions? Contact Shoebox coordinators Rick & Christina Perez
Here are some guidelines.
We recommended a minimum donation of $7.00 per box which goes towards the purchase of beans, rice, oil, flour and sugar. These food items get delivered by your fellow church members along with the shoeboxes for the villagers in Vicente Guerrero, Baja California. There will be an age designator for the child you’re shopping for.
Please have fun picking at least one item from each category:
- Mother’s Gift – Anything for Mom, jewelry, sewing kit, instant
coffee/chocolate, Q-tips, etc. - Fun – Toys appropriate for age, baby hard books, etc.
- Hygiene – No-tear shampoo, soap, brush, hair goodies, powders, etc.
- Clothing – Clothes of any kinds, bibs, etc.
- Treats – Cheerios, toddler cookies, toddler crackers, etc.
- Ok to use decorative tissue inside box.
- A personal note or family picture is special.
- Prayer over box is powerful !
- We need to raise over $12,000 to feed 600 plus families during December which is the No Work- No Fruit Picking Season and households are seasonally unemployed.
Additional $$ donations welcome - We’re praying that God will supply $1,500 to help us send our distribution team on 12/26.

- Please no Superhero theme items or “sexy” dolls
