The FUN of Packing a Shoebox

Frequently Asked Questions –
- What is Operation Christmas Child? Operation Christmas Child is the part of Samaritan’s Purse that delivers shoeboxes to disadvantaged children around the world. The purpose of the shoeboxes is to gift a child, who may never have received a present, with small gifts that will enrich his or her life and to show the love of Jesus. Big Canoe Chapel has sponsored Operation Christmas Child and the Shoebox drive for many years.

- Where do I get shoeboxes and shoebox labels? The shoeboxes will be on racks located in at the Chapel or in the Post Office starting September 26th and the label will be included in the box.
- Can I find out where my shoebox went? You can track your shoebox by going online to www.samaritanspurse.org type “track box” into the Search box, and follow the instructions. This will allow you to print a label, pay for shipping and add a donation to the Greatest Journey, if you desire. And you will be able to learn later where your shoebox went.
