Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. The 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. We 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're stocking up for our Fall Packing Party! From April through October, we are encouraging everyone to join us as we collect specific items to fill boxes for children ages 10-14. This age group generally receives the fewest boxes each year- our goal is to pack 200 boxes! This is the collection schedule for 2018: April- small tools and sewing kits May- sunglasses and baseball caps June- scarves/bandanas and flip flops (adult sizes S,M,L) July- bar of soap, washcloth, and a toothbrush in a quart size ziplock August- school supplies (pencils, pens, colored pencils, pads of paper) September- t-shirts (adult size S,M,L) October- "pop" items: stuffed animals, puzzles, games, etc (has to fit in a shoebox) Thank you! |
