It’s "Back to School" season and sales are in the air! Moms are grabbing up the great deals like a kid in a candy store. Are you one of them?

This year as you are cruising the back-to-school sales, the Samaritan’s Purse Bloggers would like to issue a challenge to you. While you’re out and about, we want to challenge you to think ahead and shop for your Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. What better time to stock up on things like pencils and pencil sharpeners than right now?

Details of the Back to School Challenge:

Here’s what you need to do to participate:

~ Commit to devoting $10 of your back-to-school shopping for your Operation Christmas Child shoebox? Let’s see how far can you stretch that $10 with the back-to-school sales!

~ Shop, save, and store up all of your back-to-school shoebox goodies! Don’t forget to take lots of pictures!

~ Write up a blog post sharing your finds and link up on August 28th to show how you were able to stretch your $10.

The Samaritan’s Purse Bloggers will host a joint link-up across our blogs for you to share a post about your back-to-school finds. We hope you will join us!
