Pack a shoebox! Send good news and great joy! Parkside is collecting filled shoeboxes from October 10-November 14, 2021. Gather items and bring your filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to the table in the lobby by Sunday, November 14.

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.
