Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has collected more than 169 million shoeboxes packed with toys and other fun items by people like you, and delivered them to boys and girls in need around the world in partnership with local churches. Many of the boys and girls who receive shoebox gifts also enroll in “The Greatest Journey,” Samaritan Purse’s 12-lesson follow-up discipleship program, where they learn to follow Christ and share Him with others.
Would you consider joining us in spreading Good News and great joy this year by packing a shoebox? If you would like to participate, please sign up on the display at church and take the number of shoeboxes you intend to pack. All shoeboxes, along with $9 for shipping (or prepay online), are due back to Faith by November 10. Visit samaritanspurse.org for ideas of items to pack in your box, pay for shipping, and learn how Operation Christmas Child has impacted the lives of shoebox recipients.
