Operation Christmas Child 26
a gift campaign from Samaritan's Purse
Collection Week: November 9-16
Under the motto "It's all about Jesus", we bring special joy to poor children in Eastern Europe at Christmas with lovingly filled shoeboxes through Operation Christmas Child, conveying the message:
YOU are valuable, YOU are special, YOU are loved!
For the children, it is often the first gift of their lives.
We support this global project by the umbrella organization Samaritan's Purse and would like to invite you to be part of this wonderful Christmas campaign. You can find all the information about how to participate, what to pack in a shoebox, how your company, kindergarten, or school can get involved, and much more here:
Here’s how you can participate:
Option 1:
Packing parcels is quite
your thing? What you can pack, what's better left out, where you can drop off the box, and what else you should know
you can find in our
Quick guide (with shopping list).
Please remember to only put new items in the shoebox!
Option 3:
If you would like to support us
with donations in kind, you can find
a list of needed items here.
Due to import regulations
in some countries we can
accept only new items .
You can also crochet or knit
hats, scarves, cuddly toys, etc.
Please contact us via email.
Option 4:
No time for shopping
and packing parcels? Then pack your Oskar from the comfort of your own home,

you can make a child happy.

Packparty 2026
Last year, thanks to our fundraising campaign, we were able to fill 250 shoe boxes with wonderful gifts for boys and girls aged 5-9 for our gift-packing party. Check out the video!
Our vision is to pack even more boxes this year to give gifts to other age groups as well. Your donation will bring us a step closer to this goal! We’ll be activating the link to this year’s fundraising campaign, "You donate - We pack!" here shortly.
You’ll receive a donation receipt directly from the fundraising platform.
Many thanks for your support!
