Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a global outreach that delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need worldwide, sharing the love of God and the message of Jesus Christ. Individuals, families, and groups pack shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, and personal care items. These boxes are collected, processed at regional centers, and shipped to children in over 100 countries.

In 2024, 11.9 million shoebox gifts were given to children around the world. You can be part of this life-changing mission by packing your own shoebox or purchasing one through the NorthRidge Store, which we will pack and donate on your behalf.
