Mueller Collage OSHC is once again coming alongside Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child, to help in their endeavours in providing shoe box gifts to children around the world that are affected by war, poverty, natural disaster and famine. Not only will theses boxes be sent to children in need but also provide an opportunity for the Gospel to be shared.
How do I get involved?
It’s easy, if you have any items you wish to donate, there will be bins that are labelled around Mueller Collage located at the front office, Residential Community Centre and at OSHC. They will be available at those locations from the 4th September to 20th October.
Filling my own box?
There is an option to fill your own box and deliver the box to one of the bin locations, there are OCC shoeboxes available at Mueller OSHC and at the Front Office that you can collect and fill or otherwise you can use any empty shoe box to fill.
Shoebox gift Ideas
“Wow” items (stuffed animals, shoes, soccer ball with pump), toys (cars, skipping rope, yo-yo), Non-liquid hygiene items (toothbrushes, soap bars, washcloths, combs), School supplies (Pens, pencils, notebooks, solar calculators) Accessories (socks, sunglasses, flashlights with batteries).

It would be great to see Mueller as a community get involved to make these gift packs possible.
