Striving for 23!

We are striving to reach 5 more children for Christ in 2016 by filling 23 shoeboxes with our Packing Party product profits. Those 23 shoeboxes will pack perfectly into one Samaritan’s Purse carton that we’ll proudly say was made possible by our wonderful Packing Party customers! 23 children’s lives will forever change with the love, hope, Good News and great joy that comes with a shoebox gift. Re-pin this to help spread the word about our 23 shoebox goal!

OCC Processing Center 2015

When Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week ends, those of us who are in charge of a Collection Center take a moment to catch our breath before heading down to the Processing Center to volunteer. The Processing Center we visited was open from November 24th to December 18th and processed over 700,000 shoeboxes! Here is a behind-the-scenes look at volunteering at the Processing Center and a few tips as well!
