Operation Christmas Child

at Cleveland Church of Christ

Through Samaritan’s Purse, we are sending gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

3 Ways You Can Participate

Now through SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30TH

It's time to shop for shoebox gifts to be packed into our shoeboxes during the PACKING PARTY

Our biggest need right now is for WOW toys. Each shoebox gets one toy that will for sure bring a smile to their face.

Gifts can be purchased for boys or girls, ages 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. As you shop, don’t forget to ask God to lead you to what will particularly delight the heart of a child!

NEED SHOEBOX GIFT IDEAS?

There are items that cannot be used in shoebox gift.

Candy; toothpaste; gum; used or damaged items; scary or war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; seeds; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.

Please bring your shoebox gifts to church before November 3, 2024. Place them in the donation box in the foyer.
