While a box full of candy would be nice, it’s also a good idea to include items from some {or all} of the following areas: personal hygiene, school supplies, fun toys, building or work tools, yummy treats, clothing, and other special items to treasure. The kids will love anything you include in the boxes. Every little gift matters!

National Collection Week varies each year, but is always in November. Not sure where to bring your boxes?  Find a shoebox drop-off location near you.
