Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes


Every year we pack shoeboxes full of toys, toiletries, school supplies, other personal care items, and a personalized note for children around the world who would not otherwise receive a gift this Christmas. These boxes are used as an opportunity to share the gospel with these children. You can fill a box or boxes on your own, or with co-workers, classmates, neighbours, or any other group of people you can gather.

Some important dates to remember:

  • October 12 and onward - shoeboxes are available at Westview

  • November 16 - Westview church family… bring your shoeboxes to church and place up front in the Sanctuary

  • November 16 - prayer for the shoeboxes as they will be sent out that coming week

  • Final return dates for Montreal community:

    Wednesday, Nov 19, 3 - 9 pm
    Thursday, Nov 20, 5-9 pm
    Friday, Nov 21, 5-9 pm

The team is looking for volunteers to help receive shoeboxes from the community and get them ready to be shipped! If you’d like to help out, please email Lucy.
