Operation Christmas Child is a program that has captured my family's heart. This program gives show boxes full of goodies to children all over the world! People from all over the United States pack shoe boxes to send to a child.

My family and I shop for OCC all year long. When we see something that can go in a show box, we pick it up and keep it all collected together until it is time to pack our boxes.

Here are 4 Signs you may notice when someone is shopping for OOC:

1) If their shopping cart is full of bars of soap.

Most places where these boxes get sent, personal hygiene is not as common as we are used too. Bars of soap, washcloths, toothpaste and toothbrushes, brushes, pony-tail holders, head bands, etc. are all welcomed in a shoe box!

2) If they are in the toy aisle trying to pick out the perfect baby doll or hot wheels cars.

3) If they are buying at least 10 bags of hard candy.

There is no such thing as too much candy right?

4) If they have the biggest smile on their face, they are probably shopping for Operation Christmas Child.
