As Pope Francis said" we will be judged by God on charity, on how we have loved our brothers and sisters, especially the weakest and most needy of them". Children fill the box with toys or school supplies. Include a $9.00 donation for shipping and handling. This will give children a Christmas gift that they never receive.
