Event Details
It’s that time of year again—time to start packing shoebox gifts and send great joy and hope to precious children in need around the world!You see, what goes in a shoebox gift is fun, what comes out is eternal. That’s why there will be 8 Drop-off Locations in Brevard County once more collecting thousands of such gifts this year for children who need hope and something to smile about. Through Operation Christmas Child, they will hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Shoebox gifts are a tangible way to demonstrate God’s love and there is such a great need for this today. Last year, the Space Coast Area Team in Brevard collected close to 15,000 shoebox gifts and hope to do so again this year! Come be a part of something amazing!
This effort is part of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organization. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, 188 million children in over 170 countries and territories have received a shoebox gift. For many, this will be the first gift they have ever received. Like last year, Operation Christmas Child overall hopes to collect another 10 million shoebox gifts for children in countries like Peru, Rwanda, Ukraine and the Philippine Islands.
Anyone can participate! Just pack an empty shoebox with a “Wow” item—like a doll or soccer ball—and other fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items. Then take it to a drop-off location during National Collection Week, Nov. 15th - 22nd, 2021.
