Operation Christmas Child is gearing up for its annual National Collection Week, running from November 17th through the 24th.

Volunteers across Indiana are preparing to open local drop-off locations where participants can bring their gift-filled shoeboxes.

These simple gifts are collected by Samaritan’s Purse to share hope with children suffering from war, poverty, and disaster worldwide.

You can visit the Operation Christmas Child website to find the nearest drop-off location.v
