Operation Christmas Child is an evangelical ministry of Samaritan’s Purse that sends Love-Filled, Gift-Filled Shoeboxes around the world. Shoeboxes filled with gifts, hygiene items, school supplies, and clothing items are presented to children in third World countries as well as areas affected by famine, natural disasters, and diseases.
While the children receive Shoeboxes filled with fun, the real gift they receive is the knowledge that Jesus loves them and died for them. Each child receives The Greatest Gift, a booklet about Jesus in their own language. When these precious children take their gifts home, they are sharing your graciousness and Jesus’ love with their family and friends. Samaritan’s Purse estimates that each Shoebox touches the lives of approximately 11-12 people.

In 2023 our church collected 598 shoeboxes.
Main Street Baptist Church will again be an Operation Christmas Child drop-off location during the National Collection Week, November 13th – 20th, 2023. You can pick-up shoeboxes to fill, and drop off packed shoeboxes, during these dates. Please do not bring your boxes to the office.
