Shoe Boxes for Kids
Consider creating a shoebox to donate through Shoe Boxes for Kids. (This is not connected with Samaritan’s Purse but operates similarly.) Boy and girl Boxes are need for ages 0-2 years, 2-5 years, 5-8 years, and children ages 8 and up. Items to place in the boxes may include crayons, books, small toys, stuffed animals, and candy that will not melt. This would be a great prject for children who need help understanding this tragedy.
You can find a list of drop-off locations HERE which is updated daily and is expanding to include several states. You can sign up to be a drop-off location or get more details by EMAILING THEM.
Need more ideas?
