At Grace, we love participating in Operation Christmas Child each year. These shoeboxes are a tangible way the gospel is shared around the world—every child hears the story of Jesus before receiving their box. This ministry is doing powerful, life-changing work, and we're grateful to be part of it.

This year, we're excited to go even further by engaging our entire Grace community together. In 2026, we'll be hosting our first-ever All-Church OCC Packing Party, and it will happen in two phases.

Phase One: Giving (March-May)
Over the next several months, we'll be collecting monetary donations to fund the shoeboxes. Grace will purchase all supplies in bulk to maximize every dollar given.

The cost to fill one shoebox is $25.

• $10 covers the shipping
• $15 covers the shoebox and the items inside. Because we're purchasing items wholesale, we're able to stretch these funds further than individual shopping trips.

Whether you're able to give $5, fund one box, or fund 10 boxes, every gift makes an impact. At the end of May, our team will use the donated funds to begin purchasing supplies.

Fill out the form below to donate toward filling shoeboxes today.

Phase Two: Packing Party

Be on the lookout in mid-2026 for an invitation to our all-church packing party later in the year—we can't wait to serve together!

Note: If you still want to shop and pack your own shoebox, we will still have some boxes available in the foyer as usual in October. Our goal in 2026 is to pack the majority of them at the packing party. Our goal is 1,500 shoeboxes, which is 1,500 children hearing the gospel!
