Salem Baptist Church is sharing the Good News though Operation Christmas Child. This year we want to Go Big! Our goal for 2020 is 1,000 shoeboxes and we need your help.

Samaritan’s Purse, in partnership with churches like Salem, collects shoeboxes filled with toys and other fun items and delivers them to children in need around the world. Each shoebox, prayerfully and uniquely packed by Salem, is an opportunity for the Gospel to transform the life of a child, a family, and a community. Many boys and girls also participate in the 12–lesson follow–up discipleship course, where they learn to follow Jesus Christ and share Him with others. By filling a shoebox you are helping to reach the half a million children in the Pacific who have never heard the Gospel.

Ready to help Salem meet the goal of 1,000 boxes? There are several ways you can help:

Pick up a shoebox for everyone in your family to fill. Empty shoeboxes are available for you to pickup in the lobby of Building D. Completed shoeboxes are due back to church office by November 22.
