Operation Christmas Child

Central partners with Samaritan’s Purse each year to present gifts and the gospel to children around the world through Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. You and your family are invited to pick up a shoebox while supplies last at the Charlotte campus, and fill them with toys or other items for a child, along with a $10 donation to cover evangelism materials, shipping, and other project costs. Guidelines for filling the boxes can be found by clicking here.

Here are the important dates to know for this season's shoebox collection at Central:

Shoeboxes will be handed out: Sun., Nov. 17 at various locations around the Charlotte campus.

Shoebox Collection Day: Sun. Nov. 24. Please note this is the only day boxes will be collected at Central. If you miss this date, see details and directions at samaritanspurse.org for other drop off options.

Central has also collected items to pack additional shoeboxes. Volunteers who are Central members and aged 6 and older can register to help pack additional boxes on Sat., Nov., 23. Please register for this packing party here.
