Wesley UMC will again be participating in Operation Christmas Child (aka Christmas Shoeboxes) in 2026.
While you’re still very welcome to pack your own boxes as we’ve done in the past, we’re going to be collecting items within a certain category each month. These items will then be added to what others bring in throughout the year as we pack shoeboxes in early November.

For March, we’ll be collecting QUALITY CRAFTS!
You can sew, crochet, or knit something like finger puppets, toothbrush caddies, sock monkeys, or even dolls. Can provide craft project kits, too!
Pinterest has LOTS of great ideas!
