Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has given out 113 million shoe boxes, in 150 countries, to children who would otherwise not receive a Christmas gift. OCC inserts a language friendly Bible in each box so the child can learn and study God’s word. Each box is packed with faith and prayer that God will use it to touch the life of the child and their family.
We are honored to participate in this effort! Boxes have been sent home and they are due back on Wednesday, November 16. Please note that each box requires $10 for shipping.
Below is a suggested list of items to put in your box:
Water bottles
Bandaids
Tape measure
Small hair accessories
Sewing kits
Chalk
Bright colored thread
Tools
Flashlights
Eating utensils, bowls, cups
Simple books or picture books so they can practice English
Small school supplies (pencils with sharpeners, pens, markers, crayons, notebooks)
