Operation Christmas Child

Sharing Good News and Great Joy

Unfortunately, we missed the dates to inform readers to pack shoeboxes for this year’s Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal. Nevertheless, there is still time to donate online. 

Each gift-filled shoebox is a tangible expression of God’s love, and it is often the first gift these children have ever received.

There is nothing more precious than seeing the smile of a child receiving gifts donated with love.

The ministry is now sending over 11.3 million shoebox gifts to children worldwide, including many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster.

Through the continued generosity of donors 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.
