On November 3, 2024, the Rise and Shine Youth Leadership 2024 Shoebox Packing event successfully concluded! In total, 100 shoeboxes will soon be shipped to children in impoverished regions around the world, bringing them the joy of receiving a gift!
Today’s volunteers ranged in age from 87-year-old seniors to 8-year-old children, coming together across generations and distances, united by love and compassion. They created handmade ornaments and greeting cards, packed gifts, and enjoyed a heartwarming day together.
On November 19, 2024, the 100 packed shoeboxes were delivered to the donation center, from where the shoeboxes will be sent to South California. Eventually, they will be distributed to various countries and areas around the world.
