Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is an initiative of Samaritan’s Purse UK, a Christian relief and development charity working amongst communities in need across Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Find out more about at:

The list of items that can be put in a box are listed on the attached leaflet. Also listed are items which cannot be put in a box. If there is an item you are not sure about remember that all shoeboxes are checked and if there was something that was unsuitable it would be removed. However, it would still be used for the good of the charity. Your donation would not be wasted.
