Helpful Tips on “How to Pack a Shoebox”
Build-a-box Online
200 Boxes. One Big Mission. It’s All About Jesus. We’re on a mission to build 200 shoeboxes online through Operation Christmas Child! What goes into the box is fun—games, toys, school supplies, and surprises. But what comes out is eternal: the opportunity for a child to hear about the love of Jesus. Let’s have some fun, pack some joy, and share the greatest gift of all. 200 boxes. One big mission. It’s all about Jesus!
