Join us as we collect shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse.  There are many ways you can get involved.

  1. Pack your own shoebox
  2. Donate small toys and supplies

Teens will be assembling shoeboxes at Youth Group on Friday, November 14th. Please bring items to be included to the church no later than Friday, November 14th. Below is a suggested list of items:

  • School supplies - markers, crayons, small pads of paper, etc.
  • Personal hygiene products - hairbrush, toothbrush with cover, etc.
  • Fun items - small stuffed animal, small game, card game, deflated soccer ball, pump, etc.
  • Clothing items - plain t-shirt, pair of socks, bracelet, hair bands, etc.

  • As an optional resource, Operation Christmas Child now has an Amazon storefront with additional lists of quality items that are recommended for shoeboxes.

Visit the Samaritan’s Purse website for more information and details on how to pack a shoebox.

*Please use a label to indicate on your shoebox whether it was packed for a boy or girl and which age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–‍14.

* Fully assembled shoeboxes should be returned to the church by Friday, November 14th.
