Let's bring the Joy of Christmas to kids in Romania.
With less than 3 months until Christmas, we are already seeing people entering the frenzy of one of the most wonderful times of the year. Yet, many miles away, in the poor areas of Dobrogea – ROMANIA, for thousands of children the thought of Christmas is nothing but the sad reality of yet another year of poverty and want.
That is why this year we wanted to make a difference. Coordinating with our mission partners in Medgidia we hope to deliver the wonderful message of a Savior being born to us, alongside the joy of a Christmas gift for every child. We call upon your generosity and kindness, so together we can bring a smile on the faces of precious children in Romania.
Get Involved
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE? YOU DECIDE!
Make your Own Shoebox
Fill a shoebox with items that bring joy to a child. Toys, sweets, a book or even school supplies.
Bring the shoebox to us and we will organize the transport to Romania. Make sure to include a $10 donation to cover the cargo costs.
If you feel generous, you can always make more than one!
Help us Fill more Shoeboxes
You don’t know what to put in a shoebox? No problem! We will make them, using items purchased by our generous friends. Here’s a list of items you can bring to us, so we can fill as many boxes as possible.
PERSONAL HYGENE ITEMS – Toothbrushes, Toothpastes, Hairbrushes, Hairclips, etc.
TOYS – Diecast cars, Dolls, Stuffed animals (smaller ones), Animals/Dinosaur figurines, etc.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES – Notebooks, Colored pencils, Erasers, Highlighters, Pencil sharpeners, etc.
SPORTS ITEMS – Jump ropes, Yoyos, Small balls, etc.
CLOTHING – Socks, Gloves, Scarves, etc. (children size, not bulky items)
FUN ITEMS – Sunglasses, Flashlights, small decorations, non-perishable candies
Increase the Shoebox Fund
Do you want to bring joy to these children, but you feel your generosity is more effective financially? Make a donation towards the Shoebox Fund and you will allow us to create many more gifts that will reach the young ones of Medgidia. Every donation of $25 (+$10 for the transport) will allow us to bring a smile to a face on Christmas day! Of course, your generosity can bring a smile to more than one child, so donate as much as you feel encouraged.

WITH EVERY SHOEBOX, THE CHILD WILL RECEIVE A NEW TESTAMENT.
Our goal is to have these shoeboxes delivered to Romanian before Christmas. For that, we will arrange a cargo shipment and the boxes will be distributed by the local churches and missionaries.
ALL SHOEBOXES AND ITEMS ARE TO BE DELIVERED TO BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH in Anaheim (310 South Lemon street), by OCTOBER 13, 2024.
ALL DONATIONS FOR THIS AMAZING PROJECT ARE TO BE MADE by OCTOBER 20, 2024.
