Every November Samaritan’s Purse collects shoeboxes containing new gifts of school supplies, hygiene items, and toys which are sent to children in countries around the world in order to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way.  FBC is currently the only OCC shoebox drop-off location in Elk county.  More information can be found at:  https://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/
