Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a global outreach that creates opportunities for people in our congregation and their friends to touch the lives of children and families around the world by donating items to be packed into shoe boxes for children throughout the world.

These shoe boxes are shipped to third world counties and distributed to children at Christmas time. Individuals are able to track their shoe box and receive information about the program in the country that receives your specific box or boxes.

If you would like more information, please contact Shannon Wheeler at Gashland UM Church at 816-436-1616.
