National Collection Week: November 16–23, 2026
Pack a Shoebox
It’s time to pack shoeboxes! The amazing journey of a simple shoebox begins with you and results in evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication for kids and communities all across the world! Shoeboxes will be available for pick-up in the church lobby November 1–22.
There are two ways to give your shoebox gifts:
- Pick up an empty shoebox from the church lobby (or use your own), fill it with gifts, and return it to the church during National Collection Week on November 16–23 (cut-off for shoebox drop-offs is 11am on November 23); or
- Build your shoebox online with OCC's easy-to-use online tool.
If you have any questions, please contact Amber Hansen at (563) 359-5333.
