Shoebox Appeal Pack Printable | Christmas Shoebox Gift Checklist, Letter to a Child & Church Talk | Operation Christmas Child Companion

Every November thousands of churches pack shoebox gifts for children who will never meet them. This pack makes your part easier and better: a four-week plan, an age-by-age packing checklist, three letters a child can read, a five-minute Sunday talk from Matthew 25 and a tally sheet for the church table.

What's Inside

• A four-week plan for a church or small group, from announcing it to the drop-off
• A packing checklist by category, with space for boy or girl and age band
• Three short letters to the child, written simply enough to translate, plus a blank one
• A five-minute all-age Sunday talk on Matthew 25:40 and a prayer for the boxes
• A church tally sheet for the table at the back, boys and girls counted separately
• A4 and US Letter, print-ready black & white

How It Works

Print the plan for the organiser, the checklist and a letter for every family packing a box, and the tally sheet for the table. Use the talk the Sunday before collection week.

Perfect For

Churches and Sunday schools taking part in a shoebox appeal, small groups, homeschool families, schools and anyone packing a shoebox gift for the first time.

Scripture quoted from the Holy Bible (KJV) with references. An independent companion resource: always follow the current official packing guidelines for your country.
