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 February shoebox accessories, consider including the following items:


Jewelry: Small items like necklaces or bracelets can add a personal touch.

Watches: A simple watch can be a thoughtful gift.

Hair Bows: Fun and practical, they can be used to keep hair out of the way.

Sunglasses: A practical accessory that can be included for safety and style.

Hair Scrunchies: A fun craft idea that can be included in the shoebox.

These accessories can make the shoebox more special and enjoyable for the child receiving it!
