OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
See what you can do with a shoe box!
2023 - OCC COLLECTION WEEK
NOVEMBER 13TH - 20TH
During this time we encourage you to drop off your packed shoe gift boxes. We will be counting, sorting, and preparing them for pick up at the end of the week.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A SHOE BOX?
At CHR we have been an active part of Operation Christmas Child, a ministry started by Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham. Over the years since the birth of OCC the ministry has touched the lives of millions of children worldwide with not only their first gifts of toys and basic essentials but more importantly the hope and love of Jesus Christ.
We are now collecting OCC supplies all year round! Bring your new donated items to CHR during office hours or on church Sunday’s and drop them off in the basket at the child check in kiosk.

TRANSPORTING GIFTS BY ANY MEANS NECCESSARY
OCC goes to great lengths to reach children wherever they are and by any means. For some children this is their first gift they have ever received, through OCC millions of children have come to know the love and hope of Jesus Christ by volunteers who love to share the gospel.

And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, "How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!" - Romans 10:15
