Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child 2012

OVER 130 COUNTRIES have received shoe box gifts since 1993

Great Job For "Operation Christmas Child" on November 15^th was a nice turnout and successful project. We wrapped 36 boxes this year to be delivered to kids around the world who might not otherwise get a Christmas gift. The Oasis Eatery donated pizza to feed the crew (Thanks John!!) The event was supported by The Mentoring Collaborative, Peer Networking Association, Student National Pharmaceutical Association, Association for the Advancement of African-American Women, UT College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science, and Student African American Brotherhood - You should be so proud of your efforts.

Join Peer Networking Association, Student National Pharmaceutical Association, The Mentoring Collaborative and the UT College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in collecting shoe box gifts to contribute to Operation Christmas Child 2012. Wrap and fill a shoe box with toys and sundry items and Samaritan’s Purse will ship these gifts all over the world to share Christmas with less fortunate children.

Churches, clubs, organizations, schools, departments or student organizations; students, faculty, staff and friends are invited to join us in blessing children around the world. See Flier!

Operation Christmas Child is a part of Samaritan’s Purse, run by Franklin Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham. Anywhere there is a catastrophe or critical need, you will find Franklin – on the ground, serving people in need. Visit the Operation Christmas Child website of Samaritan’s Purse to learn more and Get Involved.

We are collecting shoe box gifts or toys and sundry items, wrapping paper/tape/cards, shoe boxes or monetary contributions to the project for supplies and shipping. Items will be collected from September 04th through November 05th!
