Operation Christmas Child Can't find an empty shoe box? Stop by your local Family Christian Store and grab one (or more than one!) and fill it with items a child will enjoy. Family Christian Stores want to give these away so they can be packed and sent to children who need to hear that Jesus loves them!

Use an empty shoe box (standard size, please) or a small plastic container. You can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required. Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift.

Operation Christmas Child Christian band BarlowGirl did a radio interview tour with 12 stations yesterday to promote OCC. The girls and their family have packed boxes since they were little. The girls encouraged people to pack shoe boxes as a way to give to those in need this Christmas season - the season of giving.
