Make a Difference this Christmas Season
Operation Christmas Child
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 become a tangible expression of God’s immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! The shoeboxes are distributed through churches in over 100 countries and provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way. Pick up your shoebox starting on November 5th! Final Collection Date is November 19th.
