Operation Christmas Child [Samartian's Purse]



Collection date for this year's Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes is the week of November 14-21. To find a drop off Location near you, look HERE. If you have never participated in Operation Christmas Child before, it is an opportunity for anyone to put together shoe boxes filled with gifts and love for boys and girls all over the world! Last year, more than 8 million shoe box gifts were collected and distributed worldwide sharing the love of Jesus Christ and the joy of Christmas with hurting children. If you are interested in volunteering with OCC, more than 100,000 volunteers helped out last year in the U.S. More information is available about that if you check out their website. This is a fun and easy way to get your whole family (or small group at Church, or boy scout troup, or soccer team, etc)  involved in blessing someone else during these upcoming seasons of Thanksgiving and celebrating Jesus' birth!
