Packing tips
- Any shoebox or shoebox-size plastic bin works. Close it with a rubber band, not tape.
- Leave out food and candy, liquids and lotions, toothpaste, soap, medicine, breakables, money, and used toys or clothes.
- Pay the $10 online and you can print a tracking label that later shows which country your box went to.
Questions: call 315-942-3210, or 315-914-2450 during collection week. Can't make these hours? Samaritan's Purse lists other sites on its drop-off locator.
