Round Hill Baptist Church (RHBC) donated 317 shoe boxes! That was 246 physical shoeboxes and 71 boxes built on-line. We have already received some of the locations that our 2023 OCC Shoeboxes were sent. Some were shipped to Mexico, Peru, Honduras, and many un-named, hard to reach areas.
In 2023, there were 4,700 OCC Drop-off locations in the United States and Round Hill Baptist Church (RHBC) is Samaritan Purse’s Drop-off location for King George County. Many thanks to the volunteers who assisted in receiving, crating, praying over, and delivering 852 shoeboxes from King George County in 2023. That is 246 more shoeboxes received and processed here at RHBC than in 2022.
Be on the look out for more information on where else our OCC Shoeboxes were sent. Once the Fredericksburg Area collection numbers are in, we will pass them on. Every shoebox donated is an opportunity for a child to hear the good news of Jesus Christ and be given a tangible gift of love.
For the future, updates to OCC activities and events will be posted to this site and will be noted in our RHBC newsletter. National Collect Week (NCW) for 2024 is to be held 11 – 18 NOV 2024. Round Hill Baptist Church will once again be a drop-off location for the King George County.
Shoe boxes for 2024 packing can be made available for you to take advantage of sales on items throughout the year. Just ask me or Cathy and we can get them to you now, when you need them. Or you can wait till you see the OCC table in the foyer of the fellowship hall in early summer and fall. RHBC will have an OCC build a box online goal page again in 2024. Look for its arrival announcement in the Spring. Consider getting a box now or later this year, pack that box, pray over that box, then return your box(es) no later than 10 NOV 2024.
