1) What can I really fit inside the shoe box?
We suggest taking the box along when you shop so see what items might fit - you may be surprised! It is also a good idea to shop early, as stores seem to get picked over pretty well as we get closer to our collection day.
2) How much should I spend?
That is completely up to you based on whatever your budget may allow... we do suggest looking for items outside of Dollar Tree type items if possible.
3) Can I include clothing?
Because specific sizes are not known we suggest sticking with accessories items such as beanies, socks, etc.
4) Can I put gift cards inside the box?
Our goal is to provide the parents of each child one $25 Target or Walmart gift card. We will collect those separately on collection day, and they should not be placed inside of - or attached to - the gift box. However, for teens, fast-food and coffee gift cards are great options and may be included inside the box.
5) Should I wrap the gifts inside of the box?
There is no need to wrap the individual gifts going inside of the gift box since the entire box will be wrapped. (No harm if you decide you want to.)
6) Where can I pick-up boxes (to fill with gifts)?
After all masses in early November (details to come). Or contact Karen at 818-383-4406.
7) Is there another drop – off option?
Phone Karen Nichta @ 818-383-4406 or Kathy Terndrup @ 818-599-3967 or Kim Chopp @ 805-510-5660 (evenings and weekends only) to arrange to drop off before December 7th.
8) Will I receive a confirmation detailing what children I signed up for?
Yes, emails containing those specific details will be sent automatically after you sign up.
