Samaritan’s Purse / Operation Christmas Child

Now is that time of year again when everyone is getting ready to head back to school! And that means shopping for school supplies. It is a great time to take advantage of big deals out there and think of the different items that can be put into the Samaritan’s Purse boxes for the fall!

School supplies are great for all ages and will make a child’s day when they receive a box! It is also a good time to pick up some “end of summer items” or clothing items to put in there too. So, the next time you go shopping, think of those other children in need and take the time to buy something for them too. It will make a difference!

There will be a drop off spot in the Narthex starting in October to put the boxes that you bring. There will also be a donation box and other collection boxes if you would like to just donate different items.

Dollar store items work very well too. Whatever you choose, thank you. You are helping to reach out to children who may otherwise not have a Christmas. There will also be brochures and check off lists if you are unsure about what to put into a box.

If you have any questions, feel free to talk with Valerie Wymer or April at the Church Office. All supplies for packing boxes are needed by October 30th.  Completed boxes should be to the church by November 13th.
