Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child, part of Samaritan's Purse, delivers hope and joy to millions of children in need around the globe through gift-filled shoeboxes. By packing toys, school supplies, and hygiene products, the organization demonstrates God's love in a tangible way, reaching children aged 2-14 in over 160 countries. Throughout the year, Operation Christmas Child mobilizes volunteers and gathers donations to create these shoebox gifts, which are then distributed through local churches that also share the Good News of Jesus Christ. With a commitment to meeting both physical and spiritual needs, Operation Christmas Child addresses the challenges faced by children affected by conflict, poverty, and natural disasters. Encouraging community involvement, the organization invites individuals and groups to participate in packing events and contribute to this impactful mission, fostering global connections and local outreach.
