OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
| |
Operation Christmas Child is a Christmas ministry from Samaritan's Purse that touches the lives of millions of children around the world.
It is a very simple and inexpensive donation you can make that offers the opportunity to demonstrate the true meaning Christmas. All you need to get started is an empty, standard sized shoe box. We are asking you to purchase items to fit inside the box that matches your child's gender and age. If your family chooses to put together more boxes, you can fill them for any age or gender. Samaritan's Purse is also asking for a $9 donation to cover the cost of shipping and handling for each box.
National Collection Week will be from November 16-20th. Please send in your child's box bound with a rubber band or tape with the label (sent home in family folders or at the link below) to the school office.
