Samaritan's Purse

Samaritan's Purse is an effort by Franklin Graham that offers Christmas boxes for children in need around the world.

The ideal is a shoe box filled with items cherished by the giver and sealed with a prayer of hope. The site also accepts donations and has a cool program where people can build a box online for last minute shipping.

This year, there is extreme need in Haiti which suffered a devastating earthquake that left thousands homeless or orphaned.

Samaritan's Purse is also deeply involved in providing medical care and is working to help against a cholera epedemic which is ravaging the people.

The site includes an active blog, facebook wall and twitter account that can help you keep up with effort.
