Gifts collected this week for Operation Christmas Child

Posted

This Thanksgiving season, many families are expressing gratitude by giving back to children in need around the world with Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts.

More than 4,500 drop-off sites are now open. Locally, Grace Point, located at 550 Kattenhorn Dr. in Powell, serves as a drop-off site.

Shoebox gifts prepared by donors and filled with toys, hygiene items and school supplies may be dropped off during National Collection Week, Nov. 15-22.

“This season, children around the world need a tangible reminder that there is hope and that God loves them,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “Through these shoebox gifts packed with special items, children also receive the opportunity to hear about the eternal hope found in Jesus Christ.”

Operation Christmas Child has been collecting and delivering shoebox gifts to children worldwide for nearly three decades. 

There’s still time for individuals, families, and groups to transform empty shoeboxes into fun gifts. 

The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver the gifts to children in need. Find a step-by-step guide and more information at samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/.
