Operation Christmas Child collection day at Fresno Christian is an annual tradition that brings the spirit of giving to life for elementary students. On this special day, students were given the chance to fill a shoebox or even a few with toys, school supplies, and personal items thoughtfully chosen for another child around their age.

The event is more than just assembling gifts, it’s an opportunity for students to reflect on the significance of generosity, especially during the Christmas season. Each box represents a tangible way to spread joy and hope to children around the world who might not otherwise receive a gift.

Teachers and staff guide students through the process, emphasizing the impact of their kindness and helping them understand the importance of thinking beyond themselves. 343 boxes were given by children during Operation Christmas Child Day, which not only shows a sense of compassion but also reinforces the true meaning of Christmas sharing love and blessings with others.
