Operation Christmas Child is a campaign that sends shoe boxes full of gifts to kids around the world who are less fortunate.
Samaritan’s Purse is the organization that created the campaign.
Shoe boxes can be picked up at Grace Bible Church and Aitken's Jewellers. Shoe boxes must be dropped off by October 31st and can only be dropped off at Grace Bible Church.
When picking up a box a decision has to be made about the items put in the box. You can choose between creating a gift box for a boy or girl and three age categories. The age categories are 2-4, 5-9, 10-14 years old. When filling a box it is asked that a “wow” toy such as a doll, soccer ball with a pump, or a stuffed animal is included. Then add other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies.
There is a minimum 10 dollar donation asked to help with shipping, among other fees.
