Each shoebox is a tangible expression of God\u2019s love and opens opportunities for church partners in more than 100 countries to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with children&mdash;many of whom have never heard the Name of Jesus. Young people can also become Project Leaders, mobilizing friends and family to pack shoeboxes, or volunteer at drop-off locations or at a regional processing center to prepare shoeboxes for international shipment.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/article>\r\n                    <\/li>\r\n\r\n                    <li class=\"card\">\r\n                        <figure aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/yps\/img\/2492US-B4-024.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\r\n                        <\/figure>\r\n                        <article>\r\n                            <h3 class=\"h4\">North American Disaster Relief and U.S. Rebuild<\/h3>\r\n                            <p class=\"small\">Youth can help when natural disasters strike by joining our army of volunteers who come alongside homeowners to bring relief in Jesus\u2019 Name, letting those who are hurting know that God loves them and hasn\u2019t forgotten them.
