Through Operation Christmas Child, that humble box becomes a vessel of hope, love, and joy for a child in need. Each gift is an opportunity to share the message of Christ’s love.

Matthew 25:40 reminds us: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

It’s more than a toy or school supply—it’s a reminder that someone cares, someone prayed for them, and someone wants them to know God’s love. Getting involved is easy: pack a shoebox, include a personal note, and drop it off by November 9th. Whether you’re a family, small group, or individual, every box counts.

You can also pack an online shoebox for $30 by selecting items from the online "store." Volunteers will pack your box for you at a Samaritan's Purse Processing Center. Scan the QR code to pack one now!

Last year, we packed 58 regular shoeboxes and 91 online shoeboxes (with donations).
We can do better! We can do more!

“We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.”
