Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Our mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.  To learn more about this mission, visit Operation Christmas Child | Shoebox Outreach of Samaritan’s Purse (samaritanspurse.org)

Rhawnhurst Presbyterian Church is a collection center in Northeast Philadelphia.  In 2022, we collected 2,361 boxes at our church from those churches in the area who participate in this amazing mission.
