Shoebox Appeal 

Each year we send shoeboxes to children in other parts of the world who might otherwise not receive a Christmas gift.  Filled and wrapped shoeboxes are donated from people within the church, local schools, and the wider community.

  

 Operation Christmas Child Thank You!
Thank you so much for packing a shoebox in 2023!

You were part of sending a fantastic gifts of love from the UK to Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Together you equipped thousands of churches and groups to reach out generously to children in need in their communities, with the joy of a shoebox gift and the Good News of the Christmas story.

You are the people who make Operation Christmas Child possible and we love to provide you with feedback. Where possible we seek to share with you the country your shoebox was sent to, when you make a project donation using the online donation method. However, while we endeavour to ensure each barcode is scanned, very occasionally one can get missed due to human error or when we encounter technical difficulties with the scanner reading the barcode e.g. some print outs using ‘ink-saving’ modes do not scan well.
