Operation Christmas Child is part of "Samaritan's Purse - a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization provided spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ."
Since 1993, over 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have been able to enjoy a cheerful Christmas thanks to the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child.
Even Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty is helping to spread some Christmas cheer!
You can create and fill your own shoebox, include a $7 donation to help with shipping costs and drop it off at a local collection center.
Or you can create a virtual shoebox for a set fee, choosing specific toys to go inside, and volunteers for Operation Christmas Child will put together the physical shoebox for you!
Lucky for me there is a drop off point in Swansea, MA.... a mere 10 minute drive for me.
So join with my family (and good ol' Uncle Si) and pack a box (or two) for Operation Christmas Child.
If you plan to pack a box, feel free to comment and let us know about it! Even take a picture and post it on Coupon Mama Massachusetts's Facebook page! Spread the word and encourage others to jump on board!
A
Happy Couponing!
