Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts‑filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. Many of these children have never received a gift before, some come from cultures that do not exchange gifts. Delivered into the hands of children through local churches, every shoebox gift is an opportunity to share about Jesus Christ and God’s gift of salvation.
