Shoebox Sisters

Shoebox Sisters

The Shoebox Sisters is a multi-generational group of women who love the Lord and want to assist in world evangelism by packing shoeboxes with hygiene products and goodies for kids aged 2 to 14 years. We meet every other Friday at 9:30 in the church fellowship hall to go about the task for the day and enjoy the community generated by sharing in a common purpose.

 

“My time has never been as well spent as it is now.  I love it.  Shoeboxes have always had a special place in my heart.  Who knew I would ever have the opportunity to become so involved with them.  What a blessing it is.”
