Every fall, Harvest partners with Samaritan's Purse to spread both joy and the gospel to children around the world. Operation Christmas Child is a ministry designed to show kids God's love in a tangible way.
Individuals and families hand-pack shoeboxes full of small gifts -- flashlights, dolls, balls, school supplies, etc. Collected boxes are then shipped all over the globe and given to children. Those kids are also given an opportunity to attend The Greatest Journey, which is a discipleship program that teaches about Jesus and salvation.

Collection week is November 18-25, 2024.
