With the current economic situation there are many families in need. Why not provide a Christmas shoebox and donate it to someone in need and to tell people about Jesus. Local shelters and relief agencies might have suggestions as well. Your local church may also have a family you can adopt to help as well.
When you fill your box, please wrap the outside of the box in wrapping paper before you fill it. This means that you should wrap the top and the box separately. Please use a strong rubber band to secure the box top and bottom.
