New Plan for This Year!

PBC is collecting for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes all year long in 2023! We’ll be collecting specific items each month and having a packing party in the fall. Below is a list of the items that will be collected during each month this year. Of course, we’ll accept any of these items at any time, but we’ll be focusing on certain items each month. Drop off boxes can be found in the breezeway and in the sanctuary foyer.

** Please do not put monetary donations in the drop boxes. If you wish to donate funds, please do so online or by putting cash/check in the offering box located in the back of the sanctuary. Indicate on the donation that funds are for the Shoebox Ministry.
