We have collected 395 gift-filled boxes for deprived children in Eastern Europe.  Thank you to everyone for packing boxes, sponsoring pre-packed boxes, donating bulk items or money, sewing and knitting items, attending our stand, and last but not least loading and unloading the boxes for transportation. Once again a huge accomplishment, many blessed children and families thanks to your help and generosity and support. ❤❤❤  Michele Foley-Rohen and the Shoebox Team
