Operation Christmas Child: Shoebox Info ~ 10/31/25
Mission of Samaritan's Purse: Operation Christmas Child
“Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
~ Mark 10:14, ESV
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.
Please note: Grace Church will be packing shoeboxes this year on Friday, October 31st (2025) beginning with dinner (soup & salad) @ 6PM! Please see Tricia Johnson for items most needed at this time.
Please see the gift ideas and monthly packing suggestions below to help you shop and get ready for next year's event!
2025 Packing Night - Oct. 31st!
We are already receiving many donations for gifts for Shoebox Night. If getting out to shop is difficult, Samaritan's Purse has created an online solution. Operation Christmas Child has an Amazon storefront with gift suggestions. Right now we are in need of clothing (socks, underwear, t-shirts, dresses, scarfs & hats) for ages 2T- 14 (boys, girls).
