The week of November 16-23 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., First Baptist Church in Lawton will be the drop off location for Operation Christmas Child.

OCC is an organization that sends shoeboxes full of hygiene products, school supplies and toys to child in third-world countries. By sending the boxes, OCC is also able to share the gospel of Christ to the children and minister their families.

During the collection week, churches and individuals who have put a box together will go to FBC and drop them off.

This year, they hope to collect 6,013 boxes in Southwest Oklahoma. A semi-truck will go to the church and will be loaded by volunteers.
