Christmas Boxes
For several years, Scarborough Congregation has supported Operation Christmas Child by donating hundreds of Christmas shoeboxes and paying for their shipment to locations around the world.
Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way for Canadians to bless struggling children in the developing world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and other items. The Christmas shoebox gifts are collected and distributed in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in desperate situations around the world.
Operation Christmas Child is an important way to remind children suffering as a result of war, poverty, famine, disease, and disaster that they are loved and not forgotten. Each year, millions of shoeboxes are packed with gifts by people in Canada and nine other “sending” countries, and given to children in more than 100 “receiving” countries.
