Packing Party Resources
Families and individuals can make fun and meaningful memories by packing shoebox gifts for children in need! What a great way to start a Christmas tradition that emphasizes giving—as the Lord says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).There's nothing like the personal touch of shopping for and filling shoeboxes together to ensure that boys and girls around the world receive quality gifts as they hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In addition, many churches host packing parties, which can also be a great way to introduce the joy of shoeboxes to others. If you are interested in such an opportunity, we encourage you to plan a special event that will…
-
Ensure shoebox gifts are high quality
Every box is an expression of God's love.
-
Enable your entire church to serve together
Age is no barrier in shoebox packing.
-
Facilitate community outreach
Let people who don't yet know the Lord see the Gospel in action!

Packing Party Planning Tool
This interactive tool allows churches and groups to post all the details for their packing events in one central place while offering an organized way for people to sign up to bring “wow” items, school supplies, and personal care items. This resource also allows the event organizer to view participant selections leading up to the event in order to track what items are still needed. It's an exciting way to make sure that the shoeboxes packed at your event are fun for a child, full to the brim, and personalized with unique gifts, letters, and photos so each box from your event is different.
