On Nov. 18, Ascent Church in Evergreen will serve as a drop-off location for shoebox gifts—filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items—for the Samaritan’s Purse project.
 
During the project’s National Collection Week (Nov. 18 – 25), this site will collect shoebox donations for children living in poverty overseas. Ascent Church volunteers hope to collect more than 2000 shoeboxes to contribute to Operation Christmas Child’s 2019 goal of reaching 11 million children in need.
 
For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call Julie 303-929-4053, or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination. Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can browse samaritanspurse.org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement.
 
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world and, together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 168 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories.
