Five Delmarva Chick-fil-As will be part of a nationwide early Christmas, partnering with Operation Christmas Child on Tuesday, October 30. These five Chick-fil-As will be providing shoeboxes, that day, for customers to pick up during certain hours, take home to fill with small Christmas gifts for children around the world in difficult circumstances, and then return the filled OCC shoeboxes to that same Chick-fil-A the following Tuesday, November 6.

Each of the five different Chick-fil-A locations have different times for people to come and pick up the shoeboxes and meet a representative of Operation Christmas Child, who will give information about the ministry, and how to fill the shoeboxes.

Participants can earn a free food item specified by that location of Chick-fil-A with their filled shoebox drop off on Tuesday, November 6.

Boxes should be returned on that exact date of November 6, as Chick-fil-A has no room for shoebox storage. If you miss that date, local drop-off locations can be found by going to Operation Christmas Child at Samaritan’s Purse, on-line, and doing a search for local drop-off locations for during OCC National Drop-Off week of November 12-19.
