Haiti Box Project
Every year we send special boxes to a group of children on the island of Haiti filled with toys, supplies and more! This is such a wonderful blessing to these children! For most of these children, this is the only gift they will receive all year. Be a blessing and get involved in making a difference for a child. One box will make a big difference!
Here's how it works:
- Get a plastic shoe box (12x6 or 13x7). (They are available to purchase in our Lobby for $2.)
- Mark each box on the outside: Boy or Girl with the age group (3-5, 6-10 or 11 and older).
- Include the required items listed on the back.
- Fill the rest of the box with toys, etc.
- Pray for the child that will receive your gift that they will know Jesus loves them!
- Bring them to New Life Church by July 31.
- We ask that you please donate $5 for shipping costs.
- Boxes do not need wrapped.
