A project of Samaritan's Purse

A small shoebox can have a big

impact. What goes into the box is

fun, but what comes out of it is

eternal. Be a part of changing

people’s lives all over the world in Jesus’

Name 4 through the power of a simple gift

with Operation Christmas Child.

     OUR GOAL

FILL 250 BOXES

Fill empty shoeboxes with gifts of toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and notes of encouragement. Help cover shipping and other costs related to delivering your shoeboxes to children overseas by donating $9 for each gift you prepare.

Place a rubber band around each closed shoebox and bring it to church.
