Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, a non-profit Christian organisation who provide emergency relief and development assistance to people around the world. Many children live in desperate need and many have never received a gift before. Every OCC shoebox gift is an opportunity to touch a child’s heart and share the love of Jesus Christ. Will you pack a shoe box this year? Brochures with age groups and gift suggestions are available at Grenfell Christian Bookshop, Newsagency, Grenfell Shoes, Tammy’s Hair Design and Trucurnook. Pre-Printed shoe boxes are available (cost 50c) at Grenfell Christian Bookshop and Pat Berman. Shoebox collection dates are September 5 –  October 21,2016 and Drop-Off Points are the Grenfell Christian Bookshop and Pat Berman, 35 Wood Street.
