Operation Christmas Child

November 10 - November 22, 2026

Help spread the joy of Jesus and the message of the gospel around the world through Operation Christmas Child! Eastminster invites you to participate in three ways this Christmas season:

1. Build a Shoebox Online

Can’t make it to church? Create a shoebox online through Eastminster’s Operation Christmas Child page! Our goal is 100 online shoeboxes by November 22.

2. Fill a Shoebox

Pick up a shoebox at the CLC, Medway, Thompson Hall entrances, or the Narthex. Fill it with gifts for a child in need and return it by Sunday, November 22. Our goal this year is 400 shoeboxes!

3. Volunteer at the Charlotte Processing Center

Help inspect and prepare shoeboxes for their journey around the world! Volunteer shifts are available:

Wednesday, December 2 | 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Thursday, December 3 | 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Thursday, December 3 | 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Volunteer registration closes November 15.

Whether you pack a shoebox, give online, or volunteer your time, you can help share God’s love with children around the world!
