Our 9th Annual Work Bee was held on November 23, 2019.  We sent over 500 boxes.  How many will we pack in 2020?  If you would like to help out please contact the office.

You can help out by:

Going Shopping! 

School Supplies - Items such as pencils, pens, note pads, and picture books.  Please no crayons.  We have lots!  

Toys & Other Gifts- Items such as stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewelry, t-shirts, socks, skipping ropes, and balls.  

Save your stickers: Please save sticker sheets from Easter Seals and The Red Cross  or from your child’s unused supplies.  

Prepare a personal Note - Include a personal note and/or a photo in your shoe box (not inside the donation envelope).  

Don’t like to shop?  Consider donating $10.00 per box to help with shipping.  

If you would prefer to fill your own shoebox at home,  please have the boxes dropped off in early December.  

Please do not include:   Toothpaste (due to customs regulations), food or candy, used items (due to customs regulations), playing cards (other card games such as UNO are allowed), any type of war toys (many boxes find there way to war-torn countries), toys with decorative skulls  (cultural sensitivity),  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 shoe box).  

*Any items that we have left over from the work bee will be taken to the OCC warehouse to top off any boxes that need a bit of extra love.
