Operation Christmas Child

ONGOING UNTIL SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26

Help make Christmas extra special for children in need by filling a shoebox with small gifts! First Prez is partnering with the Christian nonprofit Samaritan’s Purse to bring joy to kids around the world through their program called Operation Christmas Child (OCC).

Here’s how it works:

• Pick up an empty shoebox (with information) from the FPC main lobby.

• Decide whether it’s for a boy or girl.

• Choose an age group, and fill it with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. Here are some suggestions.

• Bring your filled box to First Prez any Sunday in October, but no later than October 26.

We’ll deliver them in November to an OCC drop-off center, and from there, the boxes will travel to children across the globe—bringing joy, hope, and the message of Jesus’ love.
