About Box of Joy®:
Parishes, schools, churches, groups and families may pack gift boxes with presents like small toys, bar soap, pencils, a toothbrush, toothpaste, hard candy, crayons, coloring books or T-shirts. Once participants donate $9 to cover the shipment and help support the charitable work where the child lives, STS will deliver the Boxes of Joy to our local drop-off center.
