Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Q: Why does Samaritan’s Purse need an $8 donation for every shoe box?
A: The amount of $8 or more per shoe box (which is fully tax-deductible!) helps cover the shipping and program costs. It also helps to cover things like warehousing, transport, training programs for national teams in each one of the countries that receive the shoe boxes, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. Most of the countries receiving boxes also need financial assistance to cover duties, importation costs and transport to enable the boxes to reach each child.
