November/December : Shoe Box Night! This is when we bring all of the collected items, old shoe boxes, and our financial donations (typically a suggested donation is about $5 for each). At this event, all of the items are spread out on tables, and then everyone takes turns individually and personally puts together boxes for underprivileged children overseas. We also fellowship and pray over the boxes.
