OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AMAZING MINISTRY
More than 7.6 million shoe box gifts were collected last year. These gifts have been distributed worldwide to share the love of Jesus Christ and the joy of Christmas with hurting boys and girls. Together with you and over 100,000 dedicated volunteers, we know we can accomplish even more this year. There are several ways you can partner with us:
MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT
Dedicated volunteers work year-round to promote and pray for Operation Christmas Child. Teams of people are coming together around the country to serve in the specific areas of prayer, community & media relaitons, gathering, packing, wrapping, and shoe box collection. Opportunities are available to use your gifts in these areas.
High Peaks Church is an organizational and collection center for Operation Christmas Child. We also collect gift items and host 'wrapping parties' throughout the year.
