Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, founded in 1993 by Franklin Graham.
The mission is to provide God's love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
The Samaritan's Purse project collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies and personal care items, and delivers them to children in need to demonstrate God's love through the shoebox gift. For many of these children, the gift filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received. Since 1993 over 211 million shoebox gifts have been collected and delivered in over 170 countries, including the U.S.
CITCF has been partnering with Operation Christmas Child since 1996, packing over 8,933 shoebox gifts! We have 2 year-round volunteers with Operation Christmas Child:
* Trinidad Area Drop- off Team Leader/Church Relations Team Member
* The Southern Colorado Area Coordinator for OCC
