Here’s how you and your community can get involved:

🎁 Ways to Participate

• Pack a Shoebox: Fill a shoebox with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and a personal note. These gifts are sent to children in need around the world.

• Drop-Off Location: Valley Assembly in Sheridan is the designated drop-off site for Madison County. In past years, they've collected hundreds of boxes and welcome volunteers during National Collection Week.

• Year-Round Collecting: Each month, Valley Assembly collects different items to prepare for packing parties. You can donate items or help organize collections.

• Build a Shoebox Online: If you prefer a digital option, you can select items and build a shoebox through Samaritan’s Purse’s website.

• Volunteer: Help during collection week or assist with organizing and packing. Contact Lynn Summit, the Drop-Off Leader, for local volunteer opportunities.

• Pray: Support the mission by praying for the children receiving boxes, the volunteers, and the outreach efforts.
