The Hope is excited to participate in Operation Christmas Child 2026! Through Operation Christmas Child, we have the opportunity to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Shoebox gifts are delivered through local church partners in countries and territories around the globe, providing children with fun and practical gifts while also sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Each shoebox is filled with small toys, school supplies, personal care items, and other thoughtful gifts. Your shoebox may be a simple gift, but it can make a lasting impact by helping a child experience God’s love. As you pack your shoebox, remember to make it fun, full, and personalized! If possible, a $10 shipping fee is highly encouraged (postage paid envelope in your box). Don’t have time to shop for toys? No problem! Donate at Samaritans Purse online: www.samaritanspurse.org. If you have any questions, please contact Jen at jdghimenti@aol.com Thank you for being part of this special opportunity to share joy, show love, and spread the Gospel to children around the world.
