Child Drop Off Location Again This Year!
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. They ship these simple gifts 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.
WE ALSO NEED VOLUNTEERS DURING DROP-OFF TIMES!
CONTACT [email protected] TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN HELP.
Don’t forget to include your $9-per-shoebox donation to cover shipping and other project costs. Make your donation online through Follow Your Box and receive a special tracking label to discover the destination of your shoebox gift.
Every year, Operation Christmas Child’s Shoebox Collection Week takes place the third week in November when nearly 5,000 drop-off locations are open across the nation.
Year-round, you can also build a shoebox online or mail your gift-filled shoebox to our headquarters at 801 Bamboo Road, Boone, NC 28607.
