Oakham Baptist Church Launches Christmas Shoe Box Appeal
Oakham Baptist Church has announced a generous initiative this holiday season, aiming to "bless 300 children" through the Samaritan's Purse Shoe Box Appeal. The church is inviting the local community to participate in this heartwarming effort to provide gifts to children in need.
Members of the public who wish to contribute can do so by following a few simple steps:
Collect a Shoe Box: Obtain an empty shoe box from Oakham Baptist Church.
Fill with Gifts: Fill the box with "lovely presents." These gifts often include toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and other essential or fun items suitable for a child.
Return the Filled Box: Return the completed shoe box to the church on one of the designated collection dates:
Friday 14th November: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Saturday 15th November: 10:00 am - 12:00 noon
The church is encouraging everyone to get involved to help them reach their goal of blessing 300 children this Christmas.
The Samaritan's Purse Shoe Box Appeal is a global project that delivers gift-filled shoe boxes to children in need around the world, spreading joy and hope during the festive season.
