This year, Hutto Bible Church will be collecting shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child November 5th through November 19th.

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.          

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. Click here to find additional drop-off locations.

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.
