Once again we are going to partner with Samaritan’s Purse this holiday season to get Christmas gifts into the hands of children around the world. PFA has 100 boxes to fill and give in Jesus’ name. You can participate either by taking a box or boxes home with you to fill with your children at you leisure, or you can join our box filling event.
Individual Box Filling
If you and your kids would like to fill the boxes on you own, please come pick them up in the front office. Be sure you ask for a label to go with each box you take. This label will give instruction on how to fill the box, and once it is filled, you will attach this label to the box to denote the age and gender of the items within. DO NOT PAY SAMARITANS PURSE DIRECTLY. PFA is required to pay for the boxes/labels as a group, so if you choose to cover the cost of shipping the box please do so through us in one of the following two ways.
- Bring cash or check to office and give to Katie or Jessica designating it for the boxes.
- Use this link to pay electronically.

Group Box Filling
This will take place on Thursday, November 7, from 2:30 to 3:00ish in the Kid’s church room. Please see the sign-up list for items we are requesting in order to fill these boxes with lots of love. (Feel free to sign up for multiple items.) Any purchased supplies will be pooled together with other families so that each box has a variety of gifts for each child. Supplies for the shoeboxes can be dropped off in the office any time before the event, but no later than the morning of November 7. In addition, we would ask you to consider “adopting” a box or boxes you fill on that day at the cost of $10 donation to cover the cost of shipping. When you adopt the box you will receive a tag that will allow your family to follow your box across the globe. This can be done through the two payment options listed above.
