We have been participating in Samaritan Purses' Operation Christmas Child for several years.  In December 2024 we donated 350 boxes and in December 2025 we hope to donate 400 boxes.  We need your help! In the front lobby of our sanctuary, we have boxes that need to be filled and lists of items that you can purchase to help fill these boxes. When you have finished putting your boxes together, you can leave them on the steps of the sanctuary stage or put them in the larger boxes that have been placed around the church. 
More information on the $10 shipping of each box:
If you would like to give your shipping online, you can print the label out and place it on the box. It shows on the bar code that shipping was paid. You can do that by activating adhesive labels (scan the label or enter the website listed on the label) or by paying the donation online when you print your own labels. If printing your own labels, you would do that at this link:  Shoebox Label Options
If you are not activating labels then you can make a payment to the ministry using this link, just be aware that if you use this method, you won't be able to follow your box:
Ways to Give
If virtual payments are not an option, another option is to call Samaritan's Purse and make a payment over the phone. Just make sure to mention that the payment is for Operation Christmas Child. Again, you won't be able to follow the box unless you activate your showbox label. You can call them at 828-262-1980.
You can also make a check payable to Samaritan's Purse and put Operation Christmas Child in the memo line and send it to: Samaritan's Purse, PO Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607 (If you have the trifold brochure on how to pack a shoebox gift, these have a pre-addressed postage-paid envelope you can use as well.
