About Us

Welcome! We are so glad you’re here. Our journey began with a simple, heartfelt mission: to support Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child (OCC).

Initially, we started selling educational supplies online with one goal in mind—to raise the necessary funds for shoebox shipping fees. However, as we sourced items for our own boxes, we discovered that buying in bulk and wholesale allowed us to stretch every dollar further. We quickly realized that we weren't the only ones looking to maximize our impact.

With a desire to serve the wider community of donors, we decided to open this online store to offer high-quality packing items at cost to fellow OCC supporters. We take great care in what we offer; we only sell items that we would be proud to pack in our own shoeboxes, ensuring that every gift is a reflection of quality and love.

We believe that by helping you save on supplies, together we can broaden our reach, ensuring millions more children around the globe experience the joy of a gift and hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.

If you would like to join us in this mission, please visit our eBay store, where we sell a variety of new and used educational materials to fund our shipping efforts. If you have product requests/suggestions, please don't hesitate to email us! Thank you for your heart for children and for helping us share God’s love, one shoebox at a time.

With deepest gratitude and many blessings,
