The Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts‑filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. For many of these children, the gift—filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.
Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, has collected and delivered more than 186 million shoebox gifts to children in more than 160 countries and territories.
For 2022, it is our goal to pack 300 boxes as a church family. To do this we need an early start. The monthly donation schedule (found below) will help spread out the expense and categorize items needed.
