Alameda County Sites Now Open to Collect Shoebox Gifts for Operation Christmas Child

This week, Alameda County individuals, families and groups are working to collect shoebox gifts—filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items—for kids in need overseas. The effort is part of Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, which hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts globally to impact more than 10 million children this Christmas season.

Collection points are open this week, Nov. 17–24, to receive colorfully wrapped shoebox gifts packed by local residents. To find a full list of area drop-off locations, call 714-432-7030 or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ.
