Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Our mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease.

Each box becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! Delivered by our local church partners, shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way.

Shoeboxes for individual packing are available in the lobby of our Worship Center. We will also host a packing party on October 29, 2025 during Midweek.  

Check out the Samaritan's Purse FAQ page for any questions you may have!

Shoeboxes will be collected for shipment on Sunday, November 16, 2025.
