PACK A SHOEBOX

Be part of the largest child evangelism project in history by filling a shoebox for a child in need. Each shoebox contains the gospel message of hope to children around the world. Since 1993, God has used Samaritan’s Purse to deliver over 200 million Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts to children in need and disciple 50 million of these boys and girls. Shoeboxes are never distributed in the same place, so each box packed is delivering the gospel to a new group of children.

PICK UP A BOX

Pick up a shoebox on the weekends of October 21-22, October 28-29, and November 4-5, 2023
