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

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 17, 2024 for dedication and delivery to a Samaritan's Purse drop off location.
