Catawba students will be packing Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes on Monday, November 13th. Our goal is to pack over 500 shoeboxes this year. We have several opportunities for those who would like to help us reach our goal.
On Saturday, November 11 at the football game vs. Lenior-Rhyne, we will be collecting donations of shoebox gifts and money to purchase shoebox gift items. Students will be at the gates before the game to collect donations. Items needed include small toys, such as stuffed animals, cars, dolls, balls, etc. School supplies and hygiene items are also great shoebox stuffers. All items should be new and no liquids or toothpaste can be sent in the shoeboxes. Donated money will purchase gifts for the shoeboxes.
There will also be an Operation Christmas Child table under the home stands in the concourse where you can pick up an empty shoebox or if you would like to pack a shoebox and bring to the November 11 football game.
