Project Leader Resources

Project Leader Resources

Project leaders facilitate the packing of Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts for a church or group. That includes you if you’re ordering materials, equipping people with resources, fundraising, sharing about the project, or engaging in any other related activities. You may already be a project leader and don’t know it!



If you are a project leader or would like to become one, we want to equip you with additional resources to help make shoebox packing fun and easy. In addition to the resources available below, you can join our exclusive project leader email list to receive special project updates.



You can also join our Project Leader Facebook Group where you can connect with other passionate project leaders for ideas and inspiration! As you plan and promote, please also take the lead in the most important aspect of this project—prayer!
