THANK YOU, Kansas City area, for your generous contributions to Operation Christmas Child shoe box collection during the 2009 National Collection Week.
We have received the final collection totals and are excited to share them with you:
Collection Internationally: 8,157,904 * we have other countries that help in our collection
Collected in the United States: 5,198,657
Collected in the Greater Kansas City area: 50,287
Each collection total represents an increase from previous year.
Shoe boxes can be mailed at any time during the year to OCC's headquarters:
There are two year round volunteer area teams in the Greater KC area. One on each side of the state line. If God is calling you to serve with an Area team, please use the "Contact Us" tab to be in touch with us.
Operation Christmas Child, which has been a ministry of Samaritan's Purse since 1993, brings hope and joy to children through the "power of a simple shoe box" gift.
Check back often as we change our pictures and our Spiritual Impact stories and will have other OCC news as we look forward to our next National Collection Week - November 15-22, 2010.
