Operation Christmas Child

We’ll be collecting completed boxes as well as individual items to pack into boxes. If you'd prefer to donate financially, it will be available starting November 20th or can give securely on their website now. We'll also be having a packing party sometime on the week of November 13th.
Important Items to Pack
Start with a quality “wow” item such as a stuffed animal, soccer ball with pump, or clothing outfit that will capture the child’s attention the instant he or she opens the box. You can include personal care items, craft or activity, clothing, toys, and personal note.
