Every Christmas, Mission Without Borders prepares and delivers thousands of special boxes containing basic foods, chocolates and other treats, and other things that needy families cannot usually afford and desperately need at Christmas time - the coldest time of the year. We also include something to tell them about the real meaning of Christmas. We call this our Operation Christmas Love project. Last year we delivered 30,000 boxes across the six countries where we work.

You can see the Romanian family pictured receiving their box in 2010, in the video clip below.

You can play a vital part in this project!

You can help us in 2011 by helping us finance the cost of the boxes - each one is $50. We start this part of our work in October each year, although planning in our field countries has to start much earlier.

Those who will receive these special “love boxes” include poor families, the elderly, staff at the orphanages where we work (who are oftern underpaid), the disabled, and others that have obvious needs that we come across.
