For the past three decades, Samaritan’s Purse Project has been delivering holiday gifts to millions of children all around the world. Volunteers are beginning preparations to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. The shoeboxes will be delivered to children that are suffering from poverty, disaster, disease, or war. With over 4,700 locations across the country, this year's goal is to reach 12 million children.
There are several sites located in the Las Vegas Valley:
