Description:

Every year Samaritans Purse does a christmas shoe box drive which is pretty fun. You take a shoebox fill it with gifts (see the video in the link above for what to and what not to include), make sure you take photos of the gifts then drop it off at one of the drop off centre along with your $7 for shipping.

Now samaritans purse is a christian charity, if anyone knows of a secular charity that does the same link below. Personally I don't care either way but some are more comfortable giving secular so the swap will be open to more if there is a secular option as well as a christian one.

To fullfill this swap send your partner a email with the photos of your shoebox gifts as well as a letter

In Australia we had to have our Samaritans Purse shoe boxes at the collection centres 2 weeks ago. My family filled two boxes but we didn't take a photo of the contents. A few years ago I received a letter and photo from an orphanage in Thailand where my box had gone. It was such a thrill.

What a great idea for a swap. I hope it raises awareness for this awesome ministry. I do 6 boxes every year...one for each gender of the 3 age groups.

Unfortunately, I can't be sure I'll make it to the drop-off location during the drop-off week, so I can't participate.
