At US Enhanced, US Duct, and US Metal Crafters, we believe in making a difference. This year marks our third year partnering with Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child. Thanks to the incredible support of our associates, customers, and vendor partners, we’ve packed and shipped thousands of shoeboxes over the past two years. Each one delivered love, hope, and joy to a child in need.
In 2025, we’re doing it again!
According to Samaritan’s Purse, it costs approximately $110,000 to pack and ship 3,000 shoeboxes. This total includes the cost of the boxes themselves, all gift items inside (toys, school supplies, hygiene products, etc.), and international shipping.
Beyond online giving, we offer other ways to contribute to the contents of each box
Many of you remember Abraham—a member of our team whose life was forever changed by a simple shoebox. In 1987, he fled war-torn Sudan as a child and endured years in refugee camps. In 1995, someone handed him a shoebox and said, “Merry Christmas.” That box, filled with simple items, reminded him he wasn’t forgotten. Now a father of four and living in the U.S., Abraham never forgot what that moment meant to him—and neither have we.
