Operation Christmas Child

You can rest assured that Sharon Presbyterian Church was well represented by volunteers to pack shoe boxes at Samaritan's Purse / Operation Christmas Child.

Charlotte is one of many regional hubs for sorting and repacking Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes.  Each box of millions is opened, checked for age appropriate gifts, taped and then packed into a larger box.  The larger boxes are loaded onto pallets, then to trucks for the next leg of their journey.

Many of the boxes have scan codes attached.  At each stop along the journey the boxes are scanned and the giver receives an email advising the location of the box.  The gift box giver is able to track the individual boxes all the way to the final destination.  How exciting to follow the journey of a box that you pack as it travels to share the joy and love of our Lord, Jesus Christ!

Thank you for a wonderful experience.  A special thank you to Roz Walker for organizing and scheduling this yearly event!
