Occasionally, pen-pal relationships have developed over the years between shoebox packers and the recipient.<\/p>\r\n                                     <p>Samaritan\u2019s Purse encourages donors who include their mailing address to be cautious of correspondence from shoebox recipient countries, especially letters written to children. Correspondence from a stranger should be treated with caution and awareness. Samaritan\u2019s Purse does not encourage shoebox recipients or ministry partner churches around the world to solicit support from our donors.<\/p>\r\n                                <\/ul>\r\n                           <!-- END AGE 10-14 -->\r\n                           <\/div>\r\n                           \r\n                           <!--<button class=\"list-section show boys age2-4 age5-9 age10-14\" data-gtm-category=\"Do Not Include\" data-gtm-action=\"Do Not Include - Boy\"><h1 data-gtm-category=\"Do Not Include\" data-gtm-action=\"Do Not Include\">Do Not Include<\/h1><div class=\"arw\" data-gtm-category=\"Do Not Include\" data-gtm-action=\"Do Not Include - Boy\"><\/div><\/button>\r\n                           <div class=\"panels\">\r\n                                <ul class=\"accdpanel current age2-4\">\r\n                                     <li>Candy; toothpaste; used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.<\/li>\r\n                                     <li><strong>Candy specifications:<\/strong> This year, no type of candy can be included in shoebox gifts.<\/li>\r\n                                     <li><strong>Toothpaste specifications:<\/strong> This year, toothpaste cannot be included in shoebox gifts, but a child\u2019s oral hygiene can still be improved by regular use of a toothbrush alone.<\/li>\r\n                                <\/ul>\r\n                           \r\n                                <ul class=\"accdpanel age5-9\">\r\n                                     <li>Candy; toothpaste; used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.<\/li>\r\n                                     <li><strong>Candy specifications:<\/strong> This year, no type of candy can be included in shoebox gifts.<\/li>\r\n                                     <li><strong>Toothpaste specifications:<\/strong> This year, toothpaste cannot be included in shoebox gifts, but a child\u2019s oral hygiene can still be improved by regular use of a toothbrush alone.<\/li>\r\n                                <\/ul>\r\n                           \r\n                                <ul class=\"accdpanel age10-14\">\r\n                                     <li>Candy; toothpaste; used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.<\/li>\r\n                                     <li><strong>Candy specifications:<\/strong> This year, no type of candy can be included in shoebox gifts.<\/li>\r\n                                     <li><strong>Toothpaste specifications:<\/strong> This year, toothpaste cannot be included in shoebox gifts, but a child\u2019s oral hygiene can still be improved by regular use of a toothbrush alone.<\/li>\r\n                                <\/ul>\r\n                           <\/div>-->\r\n                     <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n           <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n    \r\n     <!--DO NOT INCLUDE\r\n ------------------------------------>\r\n <div class=\"do-not-include-container\">\r\n     <div class=\"do-not-include-content\">\r\n         <h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/occ\/images\/2017-how-to-pack\/do-not-include2.png\"  alt=\"do not include\" \/> Do Not Include<\/h2>\r\n         <p>Candy; toothpaste; gum; used or damaged items; scary or war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; seeds; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.<\/p>\r\n         <p class=\"small-text2\"><a href=\"https:\/operation-christmas-child\/frequently-asked-questions\/#gift-suggestions\">FAQ: Can This Go in My Shoebox?
