BSA Troop 235 is having a service event on November 11th during the Troop Meeting.  Each attendee will have the opportunity to pack a Christmas shoebox for a boy in need and personalize a Christmas card to place inside the box. These Christmas boxes are distributed throughout the world to children in need, and for many, it will be the only Christmas gift they get!

Before the event, please help us collect the items to fill the shoesboxes with.  Donations can be brought to the event, but please let us know ahead of time what you plan to bring.  Thanks.
