Operation Christmas Child provides children around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children with the Good News of Jesus Christ. These simple gifts are shipped outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S. Partner with us this year to bring good news and great joy to children across the globe.
Sunday, November 8, 2026 from 12-2 PM, is our Gather & Grow pizza lunch and churchwide packing of shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Your donated items help spread the Gospel through these shoe box gifts delivered through Samaritan's Purse (a Billy Graham organization) to children around the world.
Plan now to attend and to donate items. To help every shoebox reach the child it is intended for, please donate only the items on the approved list. Many countries have customs regulations that limit what can be be shipped in the shoeboxes. Back-to-School sales have good prices for many items on the list. Shop now and save!
Our goal this year is 150 boxes. Sign up HERE to attend and to donate items.
