Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organization headed by Franklin Graham that collects gift-filled shoeboxes and delivers them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in desperate situations around the world.

Our Royal Princess Tea Party is just one of many community events we do each year to raise money for Operation Christmas Child.

Operation Christmas Child also offers the opportunity year-round to pack personalized shoeboxes online. Go to samaritanspurse.org and click on “Operation Christmas Child” to select toys and gift items, write a note of encouragement, and “pack” them in a shoebox.
