Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Shoebox Collection Week is November 16 – 23, 2026. Volunteers have been transforming empty shoeboxes into gifts of hope filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and articles of clothing for children in need worldwide. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way so that missionaries and volunteers can share the Good News of Jesus Christ. And, it all starts with the help of a shoebox filled with gifts.
For suggestions about what can be packed in shoeboxes, drop-off sites, collection dates and hours, and directions to the drop-off sites, go to samaritanspurse.org/occ and select Drop-off Locations. Local area drop-off sites are located in Ashdown, Nashville, Glenwood, Hope, Cove, Mena, and Pencil Bluff.
