Volunteers are preparing to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts during National Collection Week, Nov. 17– 24.

November 17 @ 8:00 am - November 24 @ 5:00 pm

 

  • Volunteers are preparing to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts
    during National Collection Week, Nov. 17– 24. More than 4,700 drop-off locations will open across the country in November, 7 of these locations are in Washington County Maine.
    Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has been collecting and delivering gift-filled shoeboxes to children
    including many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster. Operation Christmas Child hopes to reach another 12.6 million children in 2025 with the hope of Jesus.
    Shoebox packing is fun for individuals, families and groups!  The project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible
    expressions of God’s love to children in need. Participants can donate $10 per shoebox gift online through
    “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination.
