Thank you for this post! Love-in-a-box is a wonderful program - I am a Sunday School teacher at the American Cathedral and the kids really get into preparing the boxes as well. It is a nice way to be able to talk to kids about how to help all the homeless people that are a real but mostly ignored feature of the landscape in all big cities.
