Labels that indicate whether it’s for a boy or girl and what age are available at the church. Please include $9 for shipping for each box. If you’d like to track where your box goes, you can go to the same website and pay for your boxes and print off barcoded labels. You will get an email when your box is delivered and it will tell you where it went.
Some boxes go to hot climates, and some to cold so pack your box for one or the other. For more information call or text Delta Yarbrough at 931-980-1707.
