Tri-Valley Operation Christmas Child Kickoff Event

Join us for a special Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Kickoff Party in the Tri-Valley area to launch this year’s mission to bring joy and hope to children in need worldwide with the gospel of Jesus Christ! This event is your chance to learn how OCC, a Samaritan’s Purse project, delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to kids in over 170 countries, sharing the love and the message of Jesus Christ. Become inspired and discover how you can make a difference by packing a shoebox for a child in need overseas. Hear Melissa Lim, an OCC volunteer, share her uplifting experience from a recent trip to South Africa, where children received shoebox gifts packed with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, heard the gospel of Jesus as Savior, and joined discipleship programs to grow in their faith. You’ll receive the latest guidelines for packing your own shoebox gifts as well as a *NEW* behind the scenes look into the operations and logistics of OCC from Samaritan's Purse leadership and locally. Connect with other Tri-Valley volunteers and project leaders, and enjoy free refreshments. We’ll provide resources to help you start packing, plus a free empty OCC shoebox to fill for a child in need overseas. Please RSVP by clicking the MORE DETAILS button so we can plan for refreshments. Thank you for joining Samaritan’s Purse in this mission to share the love and hope of Christ with children worldwide, experiencing war or poverty through Operation Christmas Child! Since 1993, OCC has delivered over 232 million shoebox gifts to children in more than 170 countries, with 11.9 million collected in 2024 alone. Through its follow-up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey, over 46 million children have participated in discipleship training since 2009, with over 20 million coming to faith in Jesus Christ. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/occ Local information: https://www.facebook.com/groups/occsfbayarea
