Operation Christmas Child
Shoebox Ministry

A simple shoebox can share the love of Jesus with a child around the world.
Here's everything you need to take part.

Here's How You Can Help

Pack A Box

The traditional way to support this ministry. Choose a special “WOW” gift, then add small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and other appropriate gifts.

Help Cover Costs

A $10 donation per physical shoebox is requested to help cover processing and shipping. Place cash or a check inside the box, or give online.

Build a Virtual Box

Virtual shoeboxes cost $30, including shipping, with an optional $6 donation for discipleship books. Visit MBC’s online shoebox page and select “Build a Shoebox Online Now.”

Please Do Not Pack

Liquids, gels, breakable items, food or candy, toy weapons, soap, or toothpaste. Keep items in their original packaging when possible to help with customs.
