Community invited to Join Sun Valley School in a Gift Packing Event in Classmate’s Honor

One of the many passions of

Lindsey Woodward was packing shoeboxes full of gifts and sending them abroad to

needy kids through Operation Christmas Child. With her abrupt death in 2011 at

age 14, Lindsey’s passion for packing shoeboxes lives on as her school, Village

Christian School, dedicates a shoebox packing party in her memory on Sat,

Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. 

This year, the Village

Christian School has dedicated the whole year to Lindsey, as it would have been

her senior year of high school. This upcoming packing party is a way that

friends, family and community members can celebrate her life.

Lindsey’s friend from

elementary school, Hayley Argo, was so inspired by Lindsey’s life and love for

packing shoebox gifts that she decided to pack them herself three years ago

starting with a goal of 10 boxes.  Argo decided to lead the efforts there

of hosting a shoebox packing party in Lindsey’s honor with a goal of packing

800 boxes.
