We have packed shoeboxes for the past three years at least. One for each of our three boys. They help me organize it at our church, wrap boxes, pack donated items in donated shoeboxes, load up the car with boxes to take to the delivery site, and most of all they pray for the children that receive these boxes.
How do you pack a shoebox anyway? http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/Pack_A_Shoe_Box/
