Christmas Box House

Christmas Box House

Service Project

This was actually a service project done by my 14 year old daughter and her friend.  They passed out flyers asking for donations to benefit the children at the Christmas Box House.  They also put up signs in the neighborhood reminding people to donate.  Then they went out and knocked on doors and collected the donated items along with money.  Last night we went to the store and purchased items that the Christmas Box House was in need of.  I am so proud of my daughter for helping to spearhead this project.  They are going tonight to the Christmas Box House to read stories to the children and give them the items that they collected.  She is so excited!  This makes me so happy that she feels joy in serving others.

The Christmas Box House International, in partnership with local, national, and international, communities and groups, provides assistance to prevent child abuse and services to improve the quality of life for children who have been abused or neglected.

This is the mission statement of the Christmas Box House.  They are a wonderful organization, with many opportunities available to provide service for children who are in desperate need of love and kindness.  This is a great way to give a little time and get a big reward.  Helping children is always rewarding.  I am trying to set up another service project with them in the future.

"Children who participate in serving others are likely to continue serving all their lives in many different ways to improve their surroundings, with lasting benefits for our country and the world we all live in."
