Operation Christmas Child
October 1 - November 12 2023 | Accepting donations until November 13th
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.
HEAD HERE for a full history of where Operation Christmas Child came from and what it has accomplished since its inception in 1993.
There are 3 ways that you can be a part of Operation Christmas Child’s Shoeboxes this year. Feel free to choose one or all three!
OPTION 1 – Purchase One or More Bulk Items
This option helps to include our kids at Covenant Church in this project by purchasing bulk items from an amazon list already created for you and with the option to have it shipped straight to us for your convenience.
Our COVkids children’s ministry will pack shoeboxes on Sunday, November 13th during class. Kids will also include a “Let’s Be Friends” worksheet where they share a little about themselves to give a more personal touch for the child who happens to open that specific shoebox.
Interested in purchasing one or more bulk items?
— USE this Amazon link for bulk items. Items are removed after being purchased. Costs range from $5 to $22 per bulk item.
— CHOOSE “Covenant Church’s Gift Registry Address” under Other Addresses to ship directly to us.
OPTION 2 – Provide Shipping Costs for One or More Shoeboxes
With this option, you are providing the shipping costs for the boxes that our COVkids children will be packing on November 13th. Each box costs $10 to ship. Feel free to pay for as many boxes as you wish. Our goal is 25 boxes. Once that goal is met, the option to give to the fund will be removed.
