Invest in You – Shoebox Packing Party 2025

Our fifth annual shoebox packing event on Dec. 11, 2025, was another heartwarming demonstration of how generous and friendly the Invest in You community is. Our volunteers brought abundant donations of goodies, rolled up their sleeves, and wrapped and packed 100 shoeboxes filled with love. Cay Galgon Life House of Bethlehem will distribute them to the families the organization supports. The packages of bibs, hats, mittens, socks, snacks, crayons, toys and more will bring much joy to babies, toddlers and their mamas this Christmas.

We extend our sincere gratitude not only to the women who attended that night, but also to the many people who dropped off donations and shoeboxes in advance, and to the MtM team members who helped gather, organize, sort and move the supplies to prepare for our event. Alyssa’s husband so graciously made the drive in his SUV-turned-Santa’s-sleigh to deliver the packages the next day—thank you!
