First Baptist Church of Hilton Head Island is the island’s official drop-off location for Operation Christmas Child. OCC is a ministry of the Samaritan’s Purse Foundation. “Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Because many people around the world do not have the means to celebrate Christmas, OCC provides a way for these children to receive gifts on Christmas as well as the gospel message!

If you would like to share in the joy of packing boxes for children around the world to enjoy on Christmas, do not forget to grab a box. Every Christmas we make boxes available to fill and pick up late October/early November. You do not want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to share Jesus with other children around the world!
