Operation Christmas Child Hosts ‘Christmas in July’ Party

The St. Louis Area Team of Operation Christmas Child (OCC) will host a “Christmas in July” party on Saturday, July 25, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Parkway Baptist Church, 12465 Olive Blvd., Creve Coeur. In addition to holiday refreshments, guests will enjoy packing shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and stuffed animals.  Individuals, families, and organizations are welcome to participate.

OCC is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to children in 150 countries. At the July party, guests will learn how the simple gift of a shoebox changes children’s lives across the world. The shoeboxes are gathered and sent during National Collection Week, Nov. 16-23.
