Boxes of Hope

When you put hope in their hands, you change everything.

At Mission Without Borders, we believe that no child should be left feeling hungry on Christmas day – and no parent feeling hopeless. 

That’s where Operation Christmas Love comes in. Your donation can pay for a Christmas Box filled with essential food items and treats for a family living in deep poverty. Also included is the Christmas story, to give families the opportunity to discover God’s incredible love.

Imagine waking up on Christmas morning to an empty table and bare cupboards. For many children in parts of Eastern Europe, this is a reality. But this year, you can change this.

Through Operation Christmas Love, you can share the joy of Christmas and the good news of Jesus with children like Andreea, who live in extreme poverty.

Andreea is a 13-year-old girl from a small village in Romania. Every day, she wakes up early to fetch water for her family and takes care of her younger siblings while her mother works.

Despite her bright smile, Andreea carries the heavy burden of poverty—a burden that grows heavier during the Christmas season.

This Christmas, Andreea dreams of something simple but profound: a joyful meal with her family, a table filled with food, and the warmth of knowing that someone cares.

How your gift can make a difference

Your gift of $50 can provide a Christmas box filled with essential food items and special treats for a child like Andreea.

Through Operation Christmas Love, we aim to distribute 38,000 Christmas boxes to children in need across the countries we serve.  

Thanks to you, a child like Andreea won’t feel unnoticed or unloved this Christmas.   

Whether you give $50 for one box, $100 for two, or $300 for six, every gift makes a significant impact. 

Your donation will...

Put food on tables this Christmas

Each box costs $50 and contains a selection of rice, pasta, sugar, flour, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, biscuits, soup mix, cooking oil, condensed milk, jam, sweets, and chocolate.

Share the message of Christ 

Each person and family who receives a Christmas Box also has the opportunity to hear the Christmas story. Our local coordinator will happily sit and talk about Jesus with anyone who wants and has plenty of Christian literature to leave for a person or family to read through later. 

Bring families together

Giving food to families not only provides for their needs, but also gives them the freedom to experience true celebration. The impact of these parcels extends beyond Christmas, opening up a door for continued support and long-lasting change in families' lives.
