With the holidays quickly approaching, once again you have a chance to improve the Christmas experience for children in need around the world.

Samaritan’s Purse is back with Operation Christmas Child.

Since 1993, more than 200 million children in more than 170 countries have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox.

Community members are encouraged to fill shoeboxes with toys, school supplies & hygiene items for children in need around the world. 

Collection Week is November 14th-20th.

Shoe boxes can be picked & dropped off at participating churches in town, or at the Collection Center at Discovery Community Church. For more information, go to Samaritan’s Purse.
