In the past several of us have participated in this effort. I have been asked to remind people in past years so here it is!
When you go to the website it explains how to pack a shoebox and how you can track it and find out where it went. Be sure to note the suggested items and "what not to" items. There are different age groups to choose from.
This has become a rewarding Christmas tradition in our family. Shopping for these impoverished children is such a joy!

My sister does the Shoe Box thing with her church every year. They do school supplies in their boxes. So, every year when they have the big back to school sales, I load up on crayons, markers, etc. and send everything to her. You can get a lot of boxes of crayons in the USPS if it fits it ships boxes. She says every year, don't send me a Christmas Gift ~ Send me crayons in September.

Our church participates in the shoebox project every year. For the first time this year we will also be a drop off location for boxes from everyone (organizations and individuals) in our local community. DH and I include toys, school supplies and items of clothing in our boxes.

I would encourage everyone to look at the video about Alex and read his story. Incredible doesn't begin to describe it!

I just noticed that they now have a way to do a ""virtual"" shoebox. You can order items to go in your shoebox and personalize it. For people who cannot get out to shop or who don't have the time.
