  2. Operation Christmas Child • Practical gifts are so important. These children are thrilled to receive items like toothbrushes, combs, and brushes. Some may have never had their own before. • Simple items of clothing like t-shirts, socks, or a hat are wonderful because some of the children may only own one shirt. • School supplies like pencils, small tablets of paper, crayons, etc. are great as sometimes children aren't allowed to attend school unless they can provide their own supplies. • Toys are great (and the children love them, too), but they shouldn't be the biggest emphasis of the box. • Only hard candy is allowed in the boxes. No chocolate or other food can be shipped overseas. A little candy is fine, but practical gifts are best.
