MIDLAND/ODESSA -- Operation Christmas Child (OCC) shoe box collection has begun! Life can get pretty busy, but if you simply don't have time to shop and pack a shoe box yourself, you can still help change a child's life through Operation Christmas Child. OCC created a process where you can build a box for a boy or girl online. You can customize your shoe box gift by selecting gifts from our list of items and adding a personal letter and photo. Your $30 donation will be used to build and send a box, share the love of Jesus Christ, and bless the children around the world through Operation Christmas Child.
