Boxes should not include toy guns, knives or other war-related items, perishable items, liquids of any kind, used items, medicine and breakable items. Notes and photos may be included in the box. Although wrapping boxes is not required, those who do should wrap the lid separately. The donation should be enclosed in an envelope and included inside the box. Checks, made payable to Samaritan s Purse, are encouraged instead of cash.
Gifts are tax deductible.
