Samaritan's Purse gives out shoeboxes that donors can fill with gifts to be given to children in developing countries.
Those people who wish to donate can collect a box to fill from the offices of Duncombe and Co on Goulburn Street in Crookwell. Others can donate to contribute to postage and handling costs.
The children are aged from two to 14 years and the suggested gifts could include something to wear, something to love, something for school, something for hygiene, something to play with.
Over the years, Crookwell has packed thousands of boxes for Operation Christmas Child to be shipped worldwide.
The collection date cut-off is October 12, when all of the boxes must be returned to Duncombe and Co with postage and handling costs.
For more information phone Sue Reedy on 0408 488 434.
