Great news! I just got my free brochures for Operation Christmas Child and I'm overly excited to start handing them out. If you don't know, OCC is a project of Samaritan's Purse a ministry of Franklin Graham. Every year they collect shoe boxes filled with gifts and deliver them to needy children around the world.
The shoe boxes are incredibly easy to make and cost very little. Usually dollar store items like toothpaste, toy cars, socks and other things are more than enough to light up a child's face on Christmas in some of the 3rd world countries that this project visits.
I ordered 40 brochures on the website (completely free) and intend to hand out 20 to friends, neighbors and the like. My boyfriend plans to hand out the other 20. This is a great way to show love by helping a great organization by just getting people to make boxes or by making a box yourself. My goal is to make 4 (2 boys and 2 girls).
You can check out the website here for drop off locations in your area. The drop off dates are between November 16-23. I hope everyone gets a chance to make a box. Happy loving!

We have done Operation Christmas Child in the past and it is a great organization! To be able to give someone a gift that would not receive one otherwise is a wonderful thing. We have so much compared to everyone else so let’s share the wealth!
AHHH! I love Operation Christmas Child! It really is so simple! And way to go you for taking the extra step and spreading the word by handing out their brochures!
