Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, collects and delivers shoebox gifts to children in more than 170 countries worldwide to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way. Since 1993, more than 198 million shoebox gifts have been collected and delivered. Brookhaven Church has been part of the collection in years past and we hope to play a part in changing thousands of children's' lives this year.

Shoeboxes will be available for pickup starting on Sunday, October 26.  All boxes will need to be returned to the church by Sunday, November 16.

Here's how it works...

• Pick up your shoebox at Brookhaven.
• Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. 
• Select a medium to large “wow” item such as a soccer ball with a pump or stuffed animal. Then fill with other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies.
• Pray for the child who will receive your gift. You can also include a personal note and photo. 
• Return the box with a $10 donation to cover processing, shipping, and gospel materials.

NOTE: Do not include candy, war type toys, food, liquids, soap, or toothpaste.

Be a part of spreading God's love to needy children worldwide! For more information or to pack a shoebox online, click the links below.
