Samaritan’s Purse asks you to label each box boy or girl and ages 2–4, 5–9 or 10–14, and to build it around a “wow” item such as a stuffed animal or a soccer ball with a pump. Leave out soap, toothpaste, candy, liquids, war-related toys, glass and anything Pokémon or Harry Potter. Drop boxes off during National Collection Week, Nov. 16–23, 2026.
We earn a commission if you buy through a store link, at no extra cost to you.
