About the event
The Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child (OCC) collects shoebox gifts‑filled with fun 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. For many of these children, the gift—filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received. Last year, the St. George OCC location collected/packed 386 shoeboxes for this project. Our goal this year is to pack 400! Join us as we gather together at Lighthouse Baptist Church in St. George on Saturday, November 12th to fellowship and pack boxes for this year's collection.
Anyone can pack a shoebox. Individuals, families, churches and groups fill empty shoeboxes with school supplies, hygiene items and fun toys, such as dolls or soccer balls. During National Collection Week (Nov. 14–21, 2022), Samaritan’s Purse will collect the gift‑filled shoeboxes at nearly 5,000 drop‑off locations in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Learn how to pack a shoebox, view gift suggestions, get your Follow Your Box label and find the nearest drop‑off location at samaritanspurse.org/occ. Participants can donate $10 per shoebox gift online through Follow Your Box and receive a tracking label to discover its destination.
