Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and Christian literature. This program provides an opportunity for individuals of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project that reaches out to suffering children while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. In 2002, Samaritan's Purse has collected over 6 million shoe boxes worldwide and distributed them to children in about 95 countries.

Please see Jennifer VonEiff for all the details on how you can donate a Christmas shoe box to a needy child this Holiday season.
