I voted for you! That is adorable. Our church packs the shoe boxes every year , this year we did 80 shoe boxess. It is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Great job on the video!
 
I have not seen the video, but every year our Girl Scout troop does the shoe boxes and it has special meaning, all of the girls in our troop are amazing at the support they provide.
