Several people I know have written letters to put in the boxes and have heard back from their child. Isn't that neat? Samaritan's Purse is located in North Carolina. You should see the distribution center in Charlotte where they process the boxes. It is amazing!!! They let people volunteer to help work on the boxes and the time slots get filled almost immediately. It is such a popular thing for church groups and Bible study groups to help with. My group helped last year. There is also a Samaritan's Purse center in Boone, NC near where my sister lives. Billy Graham is from NC and that is why this organization is based out of NC. His son, Franklin Graham heads it up. It is a wonderful project and so much fun to pack the boxes for the children. Glad you are participating!!!
