Thank You for Getting Free Shoeboxes!

We're excited you're interested in packing shoebox gifts with your school or group! Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, is a practical way for students to be involved in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. In more than 100 nations each year, Samaritan's Purse partners with local churches to distribute the gift-filled shoeboxes at festive outreach events where the Gospel is clearly shared. Many shoebox recipients go on to participate in The Greatest Journey, our 12-lesson discipleship program taught by trained local volunteers. God is using Operation Christmas Child to reach children in need and their families, to plant churches, and to transform communities. Just follow these easy steps to get involved:
