Operation Christmas Child

The Amazing Journey of a shoebox gift begins with you and results in evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication.

The Amazing Journey

Every Christmas season, Reach Out Church serves as a drop-off center for gift shoeboxes in our community. This ministry collects shoeboxes filled with gifts for children and are distributed to impoverished communities and nations around the world. This ministry has seen more than 1.1 million children make the decision to trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior all because of a simple gift!

Get Involved!

Reach Out Church has been involved with Samaritan’s Purse for many years, and last year we had collected over 275 shoeboxes for this ministry! We are providing informational brochures and other materials in our church foyer so you can get involved!

Volunteer! If you would like to help out during the drop-off times, please contact Brenda Bovee at (845) 505-4271.
