Each year Samaritan’s Purse organizes Operation Christmas Child to send Christmas gifts to children around the world, and local churches and civic groups pack “shoe boxes” full of gifts for these children.
For more information on Operation Christmas Child and how you or your church can participate, visit www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/index.
