What we’re doing to ensure the safety and comfort through Covid-19:
- Limit the number of people in one area.
- 8-10 per classroom and no more than 20 in the fellowship hall where the counting and quality control of the boxes will be
- Utilize the air purifiers that are in each classroom
- There will be no lunch provided as there has been in the past
Changes to the setup and flow of the packing event. We will have mini assembly lines in each of the classrooms for a certain age and gender. LINK TO NEW LAYOUT
We are asking for a nine dollar donation from those that sign up for the event to help cover the shipping costs of the shoeboxes
Samaritan’s Purse is the parent organization of Operation Christmas Child. It was founded by Franklin Graham. Operation Christmas Child is a ministry where shoebox gifts are packaged up for children in need living in third-world countries and collected during the week of Thanksgiving. Basic items like toothbrushes, soap, washcloths, school supplies, small toys, small books, or small stuffed animals are the gifts that are packed and then sent to children in third-world countries around the world. God’s Word will also be shared with them. Often, this is the first time these children hear about God’s love and the story of Jesus. You can learn more about Operation Christmas Child on their website at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.
