Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week

Operation Christmas Child is a project of international Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan's Purse.

November 18 to 25 is Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week. Eight area collection sites will be bustling with activity as 30,000 colorfully wrapped shoebox gifts are dropped off by residents. 

Hundreds of local volunteers will be working to pack and transport the boxes to the next stop on their journey to a child in need.
