Operation Christmas Child

Samaritan's Purse sends gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with a message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

By filling ordinary shoeboxes full of toys and other fun items, you can be part of giving boys and girls what may be their first gift ever! Local churches in more that 100 nations hand out these Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts at festive outreach events where the Gospel is presented in a child-friendly way. Each box bursting with items such as a soccer ball, doll or stuffed animal becomes a tangible expression of God's love to the child, their family, and their community. 

You may pick up a shoebox before and after each service thru November 2, 2025. Shoeboxes should be returned for collection by November 24.
