Operation Christmas Child delivers shoeboxes full of gifts to brighten the Christmas of children around the world. You can make a big difference by stuffing a shoebox full of toys, hard candy, hygiene items, hair clips, and other small gifts for an impoverished child. To get an idea of just how much of an impact one box makes, check out the stories on the Operation Christmas Child web site.

Make sure to follow the directions, label your box with gender and age group, and donate seven dollars to cover shipping. You can drop off your box during National Collection Week (November 17-24) at any drop-off location, or mail it in anytime to: Samaritan’s Purse/Operation Christmas Child, 801 Bamboo Road, Boone, NC 28607.

Have fun, and thank you for making a difference to a kid this holiday season! If you want to spread awareness about Operation Christmas Child or get your school/community involved, check out their promotional resources.
