Operation Christmas Child
Starting Sunday, November 9 | Cactus, Fountain Hills, North Ridge, Shea & Online
Fill a shoebox and change a life!
Imagine the joy on a boy or girl's face as they open a lovingly packed gift filled with toys and supplies. Many of the children who will receive an Operation Christmas Child shoebox have never heard the name of Jesus, and your gift will let them know He sees and loves them.
You can share the hope of Jesus with a child across the world by picking up a shoebox at Shea, Fountain Hills, North Ridge, or Cactus, filling it with small gifts, and dropping it off before November 24.
You can also pack a shoebox online! With just a few clicks, you can select toys and other fun items you’d like to include and personalize your gift with your own letter and photo. OCC will pack the gift for you and send it on its way for a suggested donation of just $30.
Volunteer Opportunities
We need you! There are three important ways you can volunteer to help with Operation Christmas Child.
Distribute and collect OCC Shoeboxes outside your campus Worship Center on Sundays, November 9, 16 and 23.
Help with National Collection Week in the Shea South Parking Lot on various dates starting Monday, November 17.
Pack shoeboxes at the North Ridge Packing Party. Sign up below.

Friday, November 14 | 8am-1pm
Saturday, November 15 | 9am-1pm
Join us as we pack 850 OCC shoebox gifts that will be delivered to children in more than 100 countries around the world. The empty boxes and items to fill them will be provided. We are also looking for additional donated items, such as toothbrushes and small toys (cars, etch-a-sketch, games, marbles). At the party, you’ll have the option to cover shipping costs and track where your shoebox is sent. We will be limiting the size of the group and pre-registration is required.
