We are grateful for your willingness to partner with Samaritan’s Purse by serving at an Operation Christmas Child drop-off location the third week in November.

Please know that every gift-filled shoebox is an opportunity for the Gospel. Whether you greet people when they arrive, unload shoebox gifts from cars, or pack boxes into cartons, every role contributes to boys and girls hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ—many for the first time. Some of those who pack shoeboxes also may not be familiar with the Gospel, so be alert and praying for opportunities to introduce people to the eternal salvation available only through God’s Son. We invite you to scroll through this page to find all the tools you need to make your drop-off location a place that honors God and blesses all involved!
