Operation Christmas Child in Nashville

If anyone is interested in making a box, please let me know.  I can pick up at your convenience.  And if there are any questions, my wife Jennifer is helping to lead this drive at our church and she can speak to you.

Thanks for the interest.

  1. Shoebox

  2. Use an empty cardboard or plastic shoebox (average size). You can wrap the box, lid separately, but wrapping is not required.
  3. Boy or Girl

    Decide whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Download and print the appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category and tape the label to the top of your box.
  4. Fill With Gifts

    Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child (see Gift Suggestions below).
  5. Include $7 Donation Per Box

    Help cover shipping and other costs related to delivering your shoeboxes to children overseas by donating $7 for each gift you prepare. You can give online to discover the destination of your box. Or, you can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on the memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the items inside your shoebox. If you are preparing multiple gifts, please make one combined donation. Note: Follow Your Box is only available through online giving.
    Remember to Pray for the children who will receive your shoebox gifts.
  6. Drop Off ( or call Shad for P/U )

    Place a rubber band around each closed shoebox and bring it to the drop-off location nearest you during National Collection Week, November 18–25. Visit our Drop-off Locations page to find the closest collection site. Or, call 1-800-353-5949.
