My God goal this year is 600 shoeboxes for $600.  I spend $50 a month out of my pocket for tax, any time I go over, etc., but the rest of the money is provided from God!  Here is what I have so far:

spiral notebooks 600+

crayons/markers 600+

washcloths 382+78 from yesterday=460 / need 140 more

toothbrushes 8 / need 592 more

toothpaste 1 / need 599 more

candy 221 / need 379 more

stuffed animals 1 / need 599 more

pencil sharpeners 600 / need 600

combs 3 / need 597 more

stuffed animals 0 / need 600

soap 3 /need 597

pens 23 / need 1200

pencils 128 / need 3000

Fillers :

girls 2-4  69 / need 200

girls 5-9  139 / need 200

girls 10-14  83 / need 200

boys 2-4  30 / need 200

boys 5-9  241

boys 10-14  29 / need 200

generic fillers 61 / need 600-1200

I also have other items my kids have made that will to added to the totals above at a later time.  (I try not to add to my numbers until they are boxed up with all the OCC supplies.  That way I keep my numbers straight.)

Well,  I could look at this list 2 ways.

First, “Wow!  This is discouraging!  I have so many items to collect and not much time left!”

Second, “I can’t wait to see how God pulls this off!!”

I’m choosing the second choice!

Be Blessed!
