OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

October 26-November 16, 2025

Thanks for giving! We collected 491 shoeboxes in 2025!

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. They ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.

Grab a shoebox at any of our display locations around Crosswinds, follow the directions inside to fill it up with presents for a child around the world, and return the shoebox with $10.00 for shipping to Crosswinds. We’ll load them all up and ship them off.
