Westlock Gospel Chapel acts as the Local Drop off location for Operation Christmas Child. Anyone wishing to contribute new shoebox contents can donate items during regular office hours throughout the year.

Please remember no candy and no used items! Monetary donations for shipping costs are also accepted, receipts available for donations over $20 (see brochure), cheques to be made out to Samaritan’s Purse and dropped off at the church office or mailed directly.

 

2023 The Greatest Journey: For every 5 shoeboxes packed, 1 child comes to know Jesus, plus the impact trickles down to their family. 85,000 children came to know the Lord through The Greatest Journey discipleship program and the shoeboxes sent from Canada last year, with 102 of those children coming to know Jesus through the 510 boxes sent from Westlock.
