This year Ozbabyargain is  going to take part in the Operation Christmas Child appeal, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organisation.  Operation Christmas Child delivers gifts to children around the world who have suffered because of war, natural disaster, poverty, illness or neglect. These gifts are provided by families, schools and businesses from all over the world, and take the form of a shoebox filled with unused small toys, school supplies, basic hygiene items or clothes.  

From the month of Oct-Dec a percentage of the sales will be donated to this Operation Christmas Child. 

 

A short story about the Samaritan's Purse : 

About us

 

 Helping in Jesus’ Name

 

The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, “Go and do likewise.”

For over 35 years, Samaritan’s Purse has followed Christ’s command, travelling the world’s highways and providing critical, life-saving aid and relief for the world’s poor, sick, and suffering. As these victims recover and get back on their feet, we empower and equip them through ongoing, sustainable development that transforms the lives of families and communities.

In this way, Samaritan’s Purse fulfils its mission.

Every year Operation Christmas Child puts smiles on faces, bringing joy and hope to children in need with gift-filled shoe boxes lovingly packed by families, churches, schools and businesses throughout Australia and New Zealand.  

Every year millions of children around the world are touched by the power of a simple gift... a simple gift-filled shoebox that is a warm and real expression of God's unconditional love for a child in need.

More than 100 million shoeboxes have been packed and sent to kids in need around the world since Operation Christmas Child began in 1993.

 

Let us be a blessing through our shopping!
