What is Operation Christmas Child?
Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way for Canadians to bless struggling children in the developing world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and other items. We collect the boxes and distribute them in the name
of Jesus Christ to children living in desperate situations.
