28 Operation Christmas Child Packing Party October 28, 2019 10:30 am – 2:00 pm Coquitlam, Map This is a great opportunity for children of all ages to get involved with Operation Christmas Child. They can help to make a difference! We will watch some short films about the project, learn where the gift boxes go, and find out about the lives they impact. Children are encouraged to write letters and cards to include in their boxes. You will need to bring small items to pack (see below). Shoeboxes and forms will be provided. Children are encouraged to prepare for this by personally choosing items to fill a shoebox. Over the past couple of years we have also made drawstring bags to include in our boxes. These are simple fabric bags (approx. 12”x 16”), with a drawstring at the top (you can use a ribbon or shoe lace if you like). If you are not sure and want to give this a go, there are lots of tutorials online. Bring a well-balanced variety of items to fill your shoebox such as: - Toys & Other Gifts – Items such as dolls, soccer balls, stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewellery, puzzles, t-shirts and socks - School Supplies – Items such as pencils, pens, crayons, note pads and picture books – apparently school supplies are truly prized! - Hygiene Items - Toothbrushes, soap (please place soap in a sealable bag), washcloths - Please enclose a personal note/card and/or a photo in your shoebox -No food or candy! Please DO NOT include any of the following items: - Food or candy: Including gum (due to customs regulations) - Decks of standard playing cards (other card games such as UNO are allowed) - Used items (due to customs regulations) - Toothpaste (due to customs regulations) - Liquids or items that could leak, melt, freeze, or break – shampoo, creams, lip balm, bath gels, mirrors, or glass, etc. (these can damage other items in the shoebox) - Items that can scare or harm a child - War-related toys, knives, and toy guns, etc. Parents – we will be able to spend some time together, so bring a pot luck item to share and stay for lunch! Thank you to Queenie for kindly hosting this event at her home in Coquitlam. For more details and the address, please email Annabel: pitsiaeli@shaw.ca Operation Christmas Child Packing Party
