    As many of you know with me at the helm the HAMB raised $1000.00 cash in which I went and bought 1000.00 dollars in gift cards to send to a non profit called Katy Christian Ministries. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, it was a huge success and the CEO of the company was shocked to see how companionate we were.

    BACKGROUND:
    Well as all of you know the holidays are coming around and there are plenty of kids in the USA and all around the world that will not get anything in the form of gifts. This is where the project I am working on with my local church comes in. It’s called “Operation Christmas Child, A Project Of Samaritans Purse” This company is a non profit and every donation is tax deductible.

    WHO& WHAT:
    Ok here is deal, first you choose a Childs age and there are a few to choose from boy/girl 2-4, 5-9, 10-14. Then you fill up a shoe box with gifts and goodies. There are a few things that you cannot put in which are war related items, foods, aerosol, liquids or lotions and or Glass items.

    HOW:
    What I was thinking that is if you wanted to send me the cash to my Pay pal account as the last fund raiser was worked I will them go out and purchase the goods to go in the shoe boxes and make the boxes with my wife. Then they will be submitted from the HAMB. I will provide all the shoe boxes, unless someone works for a shoe comp locally in Ca that would like to donate them to us. I would like to make about 100-200 boxes from the HAMB. I myself will be putting up the first $100 Dollars for Ten Boxes. National Collection week is Nov 13th thru the 20th so if we get all donation in by the 10th my wife and I should have enough time to shop for all the goodies.

    HOW MUCH:
    They say the average shoe box can be made with about $10 and about $7 for shipping cost, however the shipping cost don’t have to be paid. So for $10 bucks we can make a difference in some kids, day/life by sending them a little something.

    I have emailed Ryan to ask permission but I have not heard anything so I figured if he didn’t want this on the board he will pull it.

    Pay Pal Account is: Brockjrb@aol.com

    Sumaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child is deffanitly a worthy cause. My family has been sending shoe boxes for severaly years now. In fact my church is the drop off location in my county and we use the Operation Christmas Child theme for our float in our Holiday parade. Any one who wants to get involved It is much appriciated. My daughter who is 8 looks forward to shopping and wrapping the gifts every year. Send Bigdaddy a little loot, or encourage your kids to do the shopping and wrapping. I am sure they will get a kick out or it.
