What is Operation Christmas Child?

The Samaritan's Purse project Operation ChristmasChild collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items - and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way. For man of these children, the gift - filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, the world's largest Christmas project of its kind, has collected and delivered more than 209 million shoebox gifts to children in more than 170 countries and territories. In 2023, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach another 11 million child. This year, Operation Christas Child will celebrate its 30th year of ministry!

 We will need Items delivered to the Church by November 10th.
