OCC 2022 Collection Dates

Collection dates for Operation Christmas Child have been set for November 14-21, 2022. Once again in Adair County, boxes will be collected at the Wheet Fellowship Hall at the Columbia First Church of the Nazarene, 1200 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY. According to Green River Team Area Coordinator Mark Fudge, the need for shoe box gifts is greater now than ever before.

"We want to provide as many shoe box gifts of hope as we possibly can to children and their families. I'm asking churches, businesses, and individuals to join in this wonderful global ministry. Most importantly we ask for your prayers," said Fudge.

Boxes can be dropped off at the Wheet Fellowship Hall on the following dates and times:
  • Mon, Nov. 14: 5pmCT - 7pmCT
  • Tue, Nov. 15: 9amCT - 11amCT
  • Wed, Nov. 16: 5pmCT - 7pmCT
  • Thu, Nov. 17: 9amCT - 11amCT
  • Fri, Nov. 18: 9amCT - 11amCT
  • Sat, Nov. 19: 9amCT - 11amCT
  • Sun, Nov. 20: 1pmCT - 3pmCT
  • Mon, Nov. 21: 9amCT - 11amCT
It's a very simple process, according to Fudge. "Take an Empty shoe box from your closet or order some from Samaritanpurse.org/occ. Then fill the box with fun toys, school supplies, sunglasses, and hygiene items like soap, wash cloths and tooth brushes. You can include your photo and a note to the child to really make the gift special, then bring your shoebox gift to the Wheet Fellowship Hall along with a $10 donation for shipping during national collection week November 14-21. It's so vey important to pray for the child that will receive your box.


For nearly three decades, Samaritan's Purse has collected OCC Shoebox gifts and delivered them to boys and girls overseas. Each box is an opportunity to delight the heart of a child and share the good news of Christ with them and their families.
