Operation Christmas Child spreads the joy of Christmas to millions of children in over 100 countries. Each CYT class can be a part of spreading the love of Christ by putting together a (1 or more!) "shoe box" filled with small gifts for a needy child.
CYT's High School Youth Pursuing Excellence (HYPE) are coordinating efforts in each CYT area and encouraging classes to collect items and fill a shoe box that HYPE will collect and Operation Christmas Child will deliver to a child in need.
Each class will decide if they want to create a box for a girl or boy and the age range of the child. Students then can bring items for the box such as:
Pens
Pencils
Sharpeners
Crayons
Coloring books
Picture books
Stickers
Small cars
Balls
Dolls
Yo-yos
Jump ropes
Slinky
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Bar soap
Comb
Washcloth
Hair clips
Toy jewelry
Watches
Ball caps
T-shirts
Socks
Hard candy
Boxes will be picked up from classes on Tuesday, November 6th.
Do not include: used items, war-related items, chocolate or food, liquids or lotions, vitamins or breakable items.
