For several years now, abc has worked closely with Samaritan's Purse. Samaritan's Purse is an international charitable organization that deals with medical aid and disaster relief among other things.

A major Samaritan's Purse project is called Operation Christmas Child (OCC). People around the world are invited to package a shoe box sized gift that will be distributed to impoverished children. The boxes usually contain items like toys, toiletries, clothing, and candy. Last year approximately 8 million boxes went out.

Each year, we put together several thousand of these boxes in our warehouse. So far this year we've made nearly 2,000.

This year we are asking for your help. Samaritan's Purse has a great new tool where you can put together a shoe box gift online. You customize the contents, add a personalized note, and pay $35 to cover the contents and shipping. It's all online and takes only a few minutes.

Once you've made a box, just forward the confirmation email to us. To show our appreciation we'll send you back a coupon for a 5% coupon (not to be combined with other offers).

Thanks for your help!
