Operation Christmas Child - Samaritan's Purse
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 than 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.
Ways to Serve!
There are a handful of ways to serve year round for Operation Christmas Child:
Prayer Partner
Pray that as every box is filled and shipped all over the world, it is sent with the hope we have in Jesus Christ that it would meet the child right where they are! That they would know they are loved completely by Jesus!
Be a Year-Round Volunteer
Year-round volunteers with Operation Christmas Child are part of a local team that promotes and fosters community involvement with this global Samaritan’s Purse project.
Pack A Box
Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God’s immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever!
Process Center Volunteer
Be a part of carefully inspecting shoebox gifts at one of our regional processing centers! It’s the last stop before international shipment.
