The Public is Invited to Prepare Shoebox Gifts for Needy Children
Falmouth Baptist Church will host a packing party on Sunday, November 22nd at 11:00 a.m.
For more than 20 years, Falmouth Baptist Church has partnered with Samaritan’s Purse through their Operation Christmas Child program, which collects and distributes gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children in over 170 countries and territories around the world. In addition to clothes, hygiene items, school supplies, and toys, each box also includes a message of God’s love and His greatest, gift, His Son, Jesus Christ. Boxes are then delivered to children—many of whom have never received a gift before—suffering from poverty, war, disease, and natural disasters.
According to trackable shipping labels, in recent years, boxes prepared at their annual packing parties were sent to Malawi, South Africa, and an orphanage in the Ukraine.
The church will provide the items needed. All ages are invited to participate in packing the boxes to help reach a goal of 450 shoebox gifts.
The church is located at 60 Central Park Court. For more information visit http://falmouth.church.
