Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a charitable initiative where individuals and communities pack shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and clothing to send to children in need around the world. Organized by Samaritan's Purse, the program aims to provide not only gifts but also hope, encouragement, and the message of love and care. These boxes are distributed through local churches and partners, often accompanied by Gospel presentations, benefiting children affected by poverty, conflict, or disaster. The initiative fosters global compassion, connects donors with children across cultures, and promotes sharing and kindness during the holiday season.
