Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! The shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way. Since 1993, more than 209 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. After receiving generous donations from our friends and family, we'll be meeting to pack the boxes and have a bite to eat. Please join us for this rewarding event - you can feel free to bring a friend or neighbor along with you!
