Operation Christmas Child
How to make a box:
- Find a Shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately.
- Get Your Label. Use the label on the outside of the box to indicate whether it was packed for a boy or girl and which age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14. Get Label
- Fill with Gifts. Don’t forget to also include a personal note and photo—sometimes these are the child's favorite things to receive! Gift Ideas
- Pray. Most importantly, "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17) for the child who will receive your shoebox gift.
- Drop Off. Drop your box off at Gilead by November 14th for dedication and delivery to a Samaritan's Purse drop off location.
