Through Operation Christmas Child, Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Throughout the year we collect items for boys and girls, ages 2-14, and have a shoebox packing party towards the end of the year. Items we collect are “WOW” items such as dolls, stuffed animals, soccer balls, large toys; personal care items, school supplies, clothing and accessories, crafts and activities, and toys.
