Campus students partner with Samaritan’s Purse annually for the Operation Christmas Child gift box donation. The boxes that students pack will travel all around the world to countries such as Ecuador, Uganda, and Zambia.

Children receive these boxes as possibly their only Christmas gift, in which alongside their various gifts they are given Bibles and children’s religious books.

This year, students are challenged to bring in a total of 500 boxes, an increase from last years 360.
