Operation Christmas Child 10 Shoe Box Challenge

The Suffolk County Operation Christmas Child Team Has Put Out A 10 Box Shoe Box Gift Challenge

Operation Christmas Child 10 Shoe Box Challenge

Did you know that four US Presidents have packed shoeboxes. Ronald Regan, George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have all packed shoeboxes for children in need. And it happened because someone asked them to.

Here’s the challenge...
- You find 10 friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, etc who do not pack shoeboxes for OCC already and ask them if they would pack a shoebox this year.
- The Suffolk County Area Team will supply you with the 10 shoeboxes and brochures to give them.
