Operation Christmas Child Boxes

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes and the message of God's unconditional love. Your simple gesture of filling a shoebox with little gifts and necessities can have eternal significance for a child.

Pick up a box to fill in the lobby at each campus beginning Sunday, October 26 (while supplies last).  Our collection deadline is Sunday, November 23 at 12:00pm at both campuses .  Our goal it so collect 500 boxes (400 boxes at our two campuses and 100 ordered online).  We'd love to see our lobby overflowing with shoeboxes!

NO toothpaste or candy. These items are no longer allowed in shoeboxes due to customs regulations.

Cost: The gift contents and a $10.00 donation per shoebox for shipping. Make check payable to "Samaritan's Purse" and place inside your box OR discover the destination of your box by paying online to get your own Follow Your Box label.
