Each year thousands of shoeboxes are packed by people who cannot afford to add the additional $7 per box shipping fee. Many people say “But I’m not sure what I should pack in the box, so I’ll just leave it for someone else to do” and don’t take a box to pack at all. Here is an opportunity for any size “hands” to help. A freewill offering will be received November 15 on OCC Dedication Sunday. Samaritan’s Purse pays $7 to ship each box around the world, but only receives enough donations with the boxes to cover $5.06/box. Our offering will help defray some of the expense to ship boxes all over the world. You are still encouraged to put your $7 donation in your box as you normally do. This is an additional offering for the people that don’t feel capable of packing a shoebox and a way for the congregation, from the young all the way to the oldest, to be a part of Operation Christmas Child. Thank you for your support in this ministry.
