Operation Christmas Child has been collecting and delivering shoebox gifts—filled with school supplies, hygiene items, and fun toys—to children worldwide since 1993.
In 2022, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect enough shoeboxes to reach another 11 million children.
Individuals, families, and groups still have time to transform empty shoeboxes into fun gifts. The project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children in need.
