Operation Christmas Child
There are 3 ways to participate in Operation Christmas Child:
1. Traditional Shoebox packing. Boxes can be picked up in the connection center lobby. Resources are located on the table to help you start your box or give you ideas! Suggested packing list and how to pack your box are printed, grab what you need. Amazon has partnered with OCC to build a store front if you prefer Amazon Shopping for your supplies. Here is that storefront:
Please make sure all boxes have a label on them before returning them by Nov 15th.
2. Packing Party! Nov 13th at 6pm in the gym. Wanting to know how to contribute? 3 ways to do so, first, come pack boxes! Second, donate items for the packing party to be placed into boxes; Here is an amazon list –
You can bring in items not on This list, it is merely a suggestion and starting point. Third, sponsor shipping on boxes that we pack that night ($10/box). As of 10/18, we have 89 boxes sponsored to pack and ship! Bring your working hands to pack boxes!
3. Online box building! Our team name for the goal page is “FMC 2026”. Here is the link for that –
You pick the items and the processing center handles everything else for you!
* Remember boxes cannot include liquids of any type or anything needing health advice (think toothpaste, soaps, medicines).
Let Rachel know what questions you have!
