Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 220 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 170 countries and territories. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.
Every year at Town Creek, individual families fill boxes. Please pick up an OCC box and a gift suggestion brochure from the sanctuary. Purchase your items and return them to the Sanctuary by November 10th. You can find more details at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/pack-a-shoe-box/.
