Operation Christmas Child – By the Numbers

What an amazing ministry to be a part of! For over 22 years, our church has faithfully participated in Operation Christmas Child, and we’re honored to be part of something so much bigger than ourselves.

Here are some incredible stats from this global outreach effort:

• 11.9 million shoeboxes were collected worldwide in 2024 alone.

• Since 1993, over 232 million shoeboxes have been packed and delivered.

• These gifts have been distributed across more than 100 countries and 11 different regions around the world.

Each box represents a child who hears about the hope and love of Jesus—thank you for helping make that possible!

Shop with Ease This Year!

Shopping for Operation Christmas Child has never been easier! Samaritan’s Purse now has an Amazon storefront filled with recommended items perfect for packing shoeboxes.

That means you can shop from the comfort of your home—no need to leave the couch or even change out of your pajamas. Simply select the items you’d like to donate, have them shipped straight to your door, and bring them with you the next time you’re at church.

Let’s work together to make our 2025 Packing Party the biggest and most impactful one yet. Every gift-filled shoebox is a powerful way to share God’s love with a child in need.
