Operation Christmas Child begins its shoebox collection from Nov. 18 through Nov. 25 at the Cobblestone Community Church, 4191 Kehr Road Oxford.
The Christmas shoeboxes will be collected by Samaritan’s Purse to give children around the world gifts. The Christmas shoeboxes should be filled with gifts like a ‘wow’ item, school supplies, personal care items and a note for the child.
More locations for Christmas shoebox drop-offs include Ross Christian Church at 3756 Herman Road Hamilton and Fairfield West Baptist Church located at 5345 Muskopf Road Fairfield.
Hours for shoebox drop-offs vary throughout the week-long collection. For more information on hours visit the Cobblestone Community Church website.
