This year again we are supporting Operation Christmas Child!
We are honored to be one of
Newaygo's pick-up boxes are to be filled and drop-off locations.


What is Operation Christmas Child?
The Samaritan's Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way.

How do I participate?
*Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately. 
Free preprinted boxes are available here at
the New Ewe.

Girl or Boy
*Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category: is 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14.
