Operation Christmas Child
Shoebox Packing Party
November 11, 2023
Bring the family and a filled shoebox or items to gift and join us on SERVING SATURDAY, November 11th – 1 PM at North Campus – as we bless children across the world with a Christmas gift and the Word. If you haven’t picked up a shoebox to fill, no worries! We ask that you select items from the approved list below to bring with you to the Packing Party. We will take loose items and create full shoeboxes from your gifts. Please, do not wrap them.
