General Information

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their 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. They ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease.

Each year a team from PPC visits the Operation Christmas Child Processing Center to help process shoeboxes that will be delivered to children all over the world. We travel  to Charlotte, NC via a charter bus and serve together from 9am-3pm each day. Devotion time in the hotel lobby each day after serving. Each evening activities are planned/eating out for those who want to go.
