Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, and the mission is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Locally, Operation Christmas Child has a goal of 43,500 shoe boxes from our community.
You can be a part of Operation Christmas Child by purchasing and packing items for shoeboxes. Many churches in our area serve as locations for shoebox drop-offs or hold packing events. One of those packing events will take place September 10th at Grace Fellowship Church in Kingsport.
