This document provides information about SIFE BCIT's Operation Christmas Child project, which aims to fill 100 shoeboxes with gifts for children in need over Christmas. It outlines the steps to participate, including choosing a boy or girl and age group to target with gifts like toys, school supplies and hygiene items. Participants are asked to bring completed shoeboxes with a $7 donation for shipping by November 16th. The document also advertises upcoming SIFE events like a networking speaker series and bake sale to fundraise for projects helping the local community.
