November Mission - OCC/Bread of Life

For November we will be supporting both Operation Christmas Child and Bread of Life Food Pantry.

“The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Every year since (1993), Samaritan’s Purse has collected shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Since 1993, more than 178 million children in more than 150 countries have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.” Samaritan’s Purse

Central Baptist Church is now in its 21st year of serving as a drop-off center for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Click here for information on how to pack a shoebox.

“The Bread of Life Food Pantry is located at Epworth United Methodist Church in Palmyra. It is open on the third Saturday of each month only.

We opened back in Aug. 2009 and serve the communities of Cinnaminson, Palmyra & Riverton. As of now we have served over 2000 people and the numbers keep rising.” Bread Of Life

On November 21 the pantry will be providing client families with food for their holiday meal. See flyer for details.
