Operation Christmas Child Collection Site Starts Nov 16


We are the official area collection center of prepared shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child starting Monday, November 16! This ministry of Samaritan’s Purse shares God’s love with children around the world by delivering gift-filled shoeboxes along with the message of Jesus Christ. As people in our area get their shoeboxes ready, they can drop them off at Rockwell Church, which is serving as an area collection center.

Rockwell Church will be taking a big trailer full of boxes to the main collection center in Duluth, MN on Monday, November 23. Every shoebox represents an opportunity for a child to experience joy and hear the good news of Jesus.


To save time when dropping off shoebox gifts, fill out this online drop-off form.
