This is a great way to give those free
toothbrushes, toothpaste, school supplies, bars of soap,
unopened happy meal toys, hard candy, etc. You can see a list
of suggested items for packing the shoeboxes here.
Donations can be dropped off at St.
Mary's between January and November, or you can bring the
items to the "Shoebox packing and wrapping party" in early
November. |

We will be collecting items for
three age groups divided by gender (2-4), (5-9), and
(10-14).
Please start collecting shoe boxes, and shop for
toys and goodies on sale throughout the year! You can
purchase 6 quart plastic containers at Wal-Mart, Target,
etc. or online at here. These boxes are a gift in itself.
