Touch a Life . . . FOREVER.
Operation Christmas Child is an outreach ministry of Samaritan's Purse that began in 1993. Through the combined efforts and generosity of people in America, Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K., 9,950,000 shoebox gifts were collected in 2013 for children in need in more than 130 countries.
Each November during National Shoebox Collection Week, churches and business partners such as Chick-fil-A serve as collection centers across the U.S. Here in the Upstate, we coordinate activities in four counties - Greenville, Laurens, Pickens, and Spartanburg - and we invite you to be a part of this wonderful project! It's easy: just fill a shoebox with gifts (see details here), include $7 for shipping, and drop it off at the location nearest you. You can donate one shoebox or dozens, by yourself or with family or friends . . . churches can participate, businesses can participate . . . Scout groups, schools, nonprofits . . . you can even "fill" a shoebox online!
While Collection Week in November is definitely our busiest time, our volunteer team works all year long to support Operation Christmas Child in the Upstate. Need a speaker for your meeting or organization? We'd love to come shares stories and videos--at no cost to you. Please contact us to arrange a presentation.
