Start Date: January 2019
End Date: November 2019 Operation Christmas Child is a project run by Samaritan's Purse. They collect shoebox-size containers that have been filled with toys, school supplies, personal hygiene items, etc. and send them to children all over the world. Accompanying this Christmas surprise, the children also hear about Jesus.
Operation Christmas Child is something that ACCC and it's youth have participated in for several years (ranging from sponsoring 2 boxes to over 60!). However, this year we wanted to touch more young lives than we have thus far. We have set a goal of building and sending at least 100 boxes! More boxes means we'll need many more supplies and much more money for shipping ($900 to be exact). We'll be collecting supplies all year long and the youth will put them together in November, just in time for their ship date at the end of the month. |
