Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 157 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

Calvary has a goal of packing 144 shoeboxes this year.  Dedication Sunday is November 11th.  If you are interested in helping bring joy to children around the world please have your shoe box to us by November 11th.  For information on how to pack your shoe box feel free to contact us at 715-362-4792 or you can go to www.samaritanspurse.org.
