Operation Christmas Child!
Iron Bridge Crossfit is giving back to the community this season through the Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child! For over 40 years, Samaritan’s Purse has supplied aid to the world’s poor, sick, and suffering with food, medicine, and other assistance. Their mission includes “providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disaster, disease, and famine…” (learn more about Samaritan's Purse here.)
IBCF’s very own Tina Whetzel with Seacoast Church brought this opportunity to give to us, and we are excited to support the kiddos! Shoe boxes will be collected from the gym November 16th - 23rd!!
The process for donating and packing a shoebox is simple:
Grab a provided “shoebox” from the gym.
Decide if you’d like to pack for a boy of a girl child
Choose the age category for which you’d like to pack:
2 - 4
5 - 9
10 - 14
Fill it with goodies!!! (this is the fun part!) Consider including the following:
a “Wow” item (like a soccer ball w/pump, doll, stuffed animal etc)
personal hygiene items
fun little toys

Donate $7 to cover shipping.
tape a check to the box
drop off cash when you bring your box back to the gym
