OCC Ideas

Operation Chirstmas Child STUFF Party is October 23rd and I'm getting all geared up for a super fun night. I've heard back from several people that aren't going to be able to attend, but just wanted to clarify that you can def still participate. Message me and I'll be happy to come by and pick-up your boxes or items to donate.

Here are some old posts on the Operation Christmas Child facebook page and wanted to share some of their great ideas!

Betty Myers Our family just packed 51 boxes for Operation Christmas Child. We shop all year and get specials after Easter, Valentines, and especially back to school specials. We target the older boys with school supplies, balls , miniature cars, jump ropes,etc. and specials, we were able to stuff our boxes for about $5 per box-(plus required shipping of course). We encourage everyone to use the on-line shipping label to track your boxes. It was so exciting to see where our 50 boxes were delivered last year.

Kathy Davis I just got 200 Boxes of nerds in the mail form Wonka a win from a Golden ticket. They came just in time for my Operation Christmas Child Packing Party tommrow.... God is so Great.....ach) and specials, we were able to stuff our boxes for about $5 per box-(plus required shipping of course). We encourage everyone to use the on-line shipping label to track your boxes. It was so exciting to see where our 50 boxes were delivered last year.


Kathy Davis Do you know anyone who Travels a lot for work.... One of my friends just gave me a plastic groshery bag full of mini hand soaps.......

Sabrina Watkins West Been shopping the back to school sales for box "filler" and found the cutest CROSS mazes in the b'day party section at Dollar Tree - 12 CROSS mazes for $1.00. Already praying that the Lord will use them to open the door for a missionary to share the Gospel with a Christmas Child


Linda Hayes Many great deals on school supplies new. Ask your dentist for toothpaste and toothbruches. Check with local t shirt printer and ask if they have had any misprints. We got 150 last year. Check harbor freight. Dollar Tree is great. Line a plastic box with material they can use it.

Becky Snyder Kelly Now is a GREAT time to find some clearance summer things for a shoebox! Today at Target I scored a little girl's tank and shorts for $1.74...TOTAL! Also got boys' shirts for $2 each.
