Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Our mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S. National Collection Week is November 18 - 25. You can drop your shoeboxes off at Cartersville First Baptist Church, Adairsville Baptist Church and Taylorsville Baptist Church.
