Operation Christmas Child

November 9 – 23, 2025

Impact who: We’re supporting vulnerable children across the world.

Impact how: Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child.

Impact partner organization(s): Operation Christmas Child.

Operation Christmas Child is about showing love to boys and girls around the world through providing a shoebox filled with gifts. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! Delivered by our local church partners, shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way. If you or your family decide to fill a shoebox, you can return it to the display in the Valley Church atrium by Sunday, November 23. Thank you for blessing a child around the world in this way.
