Hello GBC family!

Due to COVID-19, it would be extremely difficult this year to have a packing party for

Operation Christmas Child. This year, we are encouraging each family to pack at least 10 boxes

in your home. Boxes will be on the second floor of the church, outside of the storage closet in

the fellowship hall.

In addition, our mission fund committee has agreed that GBC will cover shipping for our goal,

which is 500 boxes this season! I am including some information below that you may find

helpful in shopping for items to fill your boxes.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOPPING TIPS

Here are a few websites I use to buy in bulk to fill boxes. I pray this list helps you and your

family fill boxes this season to spread the Good News and Great Joy of Jesus Christ. Thank you

for all you do to make this ministry a success year after year at GBC!

www.hjcloseouts.com

Deals change on this website weekly, so be sure to check regularly. Things I have gotten here in

the past include: hats, drawstring bags, sunglasses, large plastic cups, pens/pencils, flashlights,

soccer balls, and pencil pouches. Be sure to carefully read the description of each item to make

sure how many you are actually buying. I think this company purchases items that have been

misprinted or surplus items. The code for free shipping is OCC .

Soccer ball deals. I like size 4 or 5 for shoeboxes.

www.academy.com

Also has some good clearance deals on soccer balls from time to time.

www.dollartree.com

Dollar tree has the best deal on soccer ball pumps (when in stock, usually sells out fast). Free

shipping to store. I also like dollar tree for nylon rope and clothespins for clothes washing kits

for older girls, small hand tools and zip ties for older boys, bandanas, and coloring books (after

Christmas the coloring books go on clearance but sell out fast).

Other tips:

Follow “Shoebox Shoppers" on Facebook. She posts good deals from stores and websites as they

come available. She also posts neat ideas of things to include in your boxes. The creator of the

page is a year-round volunteer for OCC. I have learned a lot from her over the years.

Walmart has random clearance at times but seems to be the best price for notebooks and

crayons during back to school time. Staples/office max/office depot also have good sales during

back to school time. I also like Big Lots for notebooks especially if you can stack a 20% off

coupon during their “friends and family sale".

If you are comfortable with shopping in store, Rock Bottom in Greensburg usually has assorted

goodies in their dig bins that work for shoeboxes. They also have sales where you can fill a bag

for cheap which is a good way to load up on “fillers" for your boxes.

We have had good luck at Bargain Hunt (Elizabethtown, Bowling Green, Louisville) finding things

such as brand new clothes, school supplies, soccer balls, small toys, pencil pouches. They buy

out surplus from stores like Target. We have bought brand new clothes for as low as $0.10 each

from Bargain Hunt.

Kohls also has good clearance on clothes if you are there in the right time, we usually do the

best in October when the summer clothes are marked down.

Old Navy has great clearance on clothes, sometimes as low as $0.19 per item at times.

Dollar General has good clearance items. I like their sandals and “Croc” style shoes for kids that

are usually less than $1 on clearance.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me or Kim Allen.

Blessings!
