Trail Life USA and Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child (OCC) are ministry partners.
We have a wonderful opportunity to serve together at the OCC Processing Facility in Baltimore.
From OCC’s website: “Before the millions of shoebox gifts collected each year can bring hope and joy to children around the world, each one has to be carefully inspected and made ready for international shipment by volunteers like you. Tens of thousands of volunteers serve annually at shoebox processing centers across the United States after National Collection Week (the third week of November) and into December.”
This is a hands-on way to serve at the next level of the process for the OCC shoeboxes. It is fun work.
