Shoe box gifts bring joy and the opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with children living in difficult circumstances around the world. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD and CHRISTIAN BOOKSELLERS ASSOCIATION are encouraging all member stores to partner in this important outreach this holiday season. 4 Easy Ways a Christian Bookstore Can Partner with Operation Christmas Child: 1. PACK Shoe Boxes. Encourage customers to pack their shoe box gifts inside your store. 2. PROMOTE Operation Christmas Child through videos, posters, and other free materials available to stores. 3. CREATE a Shoe Box-Focused Community Event by inviting churches, community members, and local media to a special kid-and-family day at your store. 4. SERVE as an official Drop-Off Site for shoe box gifts during National Collection Week, November 17-24, 2008. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse.
