Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritans Purse, an international relief organization. The mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the news of Jesus Christ.
OCC ships these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease, and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.
