Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the message of God’s unconditional love.

If you'd like to donate a box this year, pick up a specially marked shoebox from the church. Choose if you wish to fill the shoebox with articles for a girl or boy, and their age.

Fill it by following the guide on the right. Then bring it back to Church on the Hill in Glenavon by mid-November for furtherance to Samaritan's Purse Canada.

Please include $7.00 in the donation envelope for shipping purposes.

A personal note can be included, but please don't put it in the donation envelope.
