The Christmas Store
How It Works

The Christmas Store

The Christmas Store is a tradition where families from our mission churches, partner ministries, and supported organizations are invited to “shop” for gifts generously donated by you. But more than just presents, these families also hear the life-changing message of the true gift of Christmas, Jesus Christ.

Our Faith Centers serve families in need by offering both tangible help and the hope of Christ. Through their ministry and the support of volunteers, families are reminded that they are seen, valued, and loved.

You are invited to stock our shelves with new, unwrapped gifts. Help us make this season brighter for others!

Stock Our Shelves

On Sun, Nov 22, bring a new, unwrapped gift for Collection Day!

Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child
Share the Gospel with a Shoebox

Operation Christmas Child

Each year, Houston’s First joins with Samaritan’s Purse to send gift-filled shoeboxes to children around the world through Operation Christmas Child.

By packing a shoebox, you are not just giving a gift; you are planting seeds of faith. You are encouraged to pray over each box you prepare, asking God to open hearts to the Good News of Jesus.

Bring your shoebox on Sun, Nov 22 for Collection Day!

Operation Christmas Child

How to Pack a Shoebox

Choose a medium to large “wow” item, like a soccer ball with a pump or a stuffed animal. Then, add fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items. You can also include a personal note and a photo! These are often a child’s favorite part of the gift!

Shoebox
Get a standard size shoebox to pack for a boy or girl. Need shoeboxes? Great preprinted boxes are available from SamaritansPurse.org.

Pray
Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift. Include a personal note and photo to delight the heart of the child.

Donate $10 Per Box
A donation of $10 per box is critical to cover shipping and other project costs. For easiest processing you can give online. If you use the Follow Your Box feature, you can also discover the destination of your shoebox!
