Want to Get Involved at UBC with Operation Christmas Child (OCC) but Don’t Know How?
1. Pray.
Pray for this ministry. Every shoebox is a Gospel Opportunity and it is estimated that at least 10 people are reached from a single shoebox.
2. Come to a Workday.
We have workdays the 2nd Thursday of each month at 9 am in the FLC.
3. Make items to go in shoeboxes.
Maybe you can’t come to a workday. We have people in our church that have made hats, frisbees, washcloths, jewelry, toys, bags, etc.
4. Shop for Shoebox items
Some of the items that we need are: soap (3 for $1 at Dollar Tree), washcloths (18 for $3.98 at Walmart), pencil sharpeners (12 for $1 at DT), blue & black ink pens (logos are fine), flat head screws, notebook paper, crayons, scissors.
5. Donate items for the Sale
We can’t have a sale without STUFF!
6. Work at the Sale
We have 2 sales a year: the first weeks of April and October. We need help pricing, hanging/folding clothes, setting up tables/racks/shelves, sorting/putting out items, assisting customers, etc.
7. Shop at the Sale
The sale is not a success without our church and community shopping at it. Tell everyone you know to come shop.
8. Pack a Shoebox
We have a packing party set for Saturday 11/14/20 to pack our shoeboxes. Come help! Or you can pack your own.
9. Work at the Atlanta Processing Center
Workers leave the Sunday morning following Thanksgiving and return the following Thursday. It is hard work but such a blessing.
