Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Drive
SRCC is once again partnering with Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child to bless children in need around the world this Christmas!
Operation Christmas Child is an international mercy project where churches all over the world pack shoeboxes full of toys, school supplies and basic necessities as Christmas gifts for children who live in impoverished third world countries.
Please consider packing a shoebox of items worth $25 for either a boy or a girl in the age category of 5 to 9 years old. Shoeboxes will be available for pickup outside Hyssop Hall after service on Sundays starting October 20.
You can also donate online under ‘Designated Offering’ → ‘Shoebox’ ($25/box)
HOW TO PACK YOUR SHOEBOX
Shoeboxes are available for pickup outside Hyssop Hall after both services on Sundays.
Select one “wow” item to put in the box (see “Ideas for Shoebox Gifts” below).
Fill the box with other toys, hygiene items, and school supplies (see “Ideas for Shoebox Gifts” below).
Pray for the child that will be receiving your gift. You may include a personal note and photo.
Make a $9 donation to cover shipping and project costs here or send directly using the pamphlet/envelope provided with the shoebox.
Drop off your shoebox (details below).
