It took us a few weeks to inventory all that our church family contributed during “Christmas in July,” and we value every donation immensely. The FOTC appreciates all the ways you are supporting our 16th Operation Christmas Child campaign. But if you are still looking to make a contribution, we have a wish list: toothbrushes, stuffed animals, notebooks, rulers with a metric edge, and school scissors.
The stuffed animals should be small enough to fit into a shoe box with assorted school supplies. The toothbrushes should be individually sealed. We have always included school supplies, stuffed animals, and toothbrushes in every OCC box, and we fill 100 or more boxes each year.
We have plenty of pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, wash cloths, miniature cars, socks, and draw string bags.
The FOTC campaigns since 2011 have placed more than 1,600 boxes into the hands of children around the world. Each box is accompanied by opportunities to know Jesus in new ways. We will host our 2026 OCC packing party between worship services on September 27. All are welcome! We will accept contributions through September 20.
