The collection of OCC Shoe Boxes  is over for 2018. That means there will 1485 children in the world who will be blessed with these boxes this Christmas.

Thanks to all of the many organizations and individuals who took the time and cared enough for these needy children to pack the shoeboxes that were collected this year. Thanks also to the many volunteers who helped in the collection efforts at First Baptist Church.

It took all of you to make this year a success. Have a great Thanksgiving and Blessed Christmas!
