OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Our 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 disasters, famine, and disease.

Packing a shoebox gift is easy and fun. Learn all about how to pack a shoebox gift. This link includes what kind of box to use, which items can and can’t be included, how to label your gift, and where and when to drop it off near you.

Yes. By building a shoebox gift online, you will be automatically enrolled in our shoebox tracking tool through the email address you use to make your Build a Shoebox Online donation; however, shoebox gifts built online are generally sent to hard-to-reach areas. Once your gift has been assembled and shipped, your tracking information will appear in the tracking tool. Learn more about how shoebox gifts are built online to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Spring Hill has a goal of 50 online boxes! Online packing option open through December 25!
