Operation Christmas Child
November 17 - 23
Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled boxes to children in need around the world, together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
By filling ordinary shoeboxes with toys and other fun items, you can be part of giving boys and girls what may be their very first gift! Local churches in more than 100 countries distribute these gifts at festive outreach events, where the Gospel is presented in a child-friendly manner. Each box bursting with items such as a soccer ball, doll, or stuffed animal becomes a tangible expression of God’s love to the child, their family, and their community. Many shoebox recipients also participate in our 12-lesson follow-up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey.
Grab your boxes from the lobby and fill them with your family, friends, or small group! Click the button below to get suggestions on what to include, a list of prohibited items, and lots more information.
