Operation Christmas Child

Samaritan's Purse

Operation Christmas Child

We are collecting shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child again this year.  You can pick up the shoeboxes at church on the Resource Table.  There are also brochures that give tips and instructions for packing the shoebox.  The Samaritan's Purse website also gives many helpful tips.

There are some changes this year to keep in mind:

1) The cost to ship each box is $9.  You can pay online here and track your shoebox to find out the country where your shoebox will be delivered.  You can also include cash or a check inside of your shoebox.

2) Due to changing custom regulations, you cannot include candy or toothpaste any longer.  You may not include any food or liquids either.  Please use the packing suggestions for some great ideas.

We will collect shoeboxes at church until Sunday, November 19th.  If you are interested in helping to deliver shoeboxes after Sunday Communities that day, please email Christy Villhauer.
