Santa Clause needs your help, there are many ways you can help disadvantaged children get Christmas presents. Getting Christmas presents shows children that even though they are poor, they are valuable; shows them that they deserve better than what they have experienced.
1. Send a box of Christmas presents with Operation Christmas Child.
The concept is, you pack a cardboard shoebox with gifts and write a special letter or Christmas card. A $9 donation enables OCC to transport the box to one of five different countries to be distributed to a poor child. You can even track your box to see which country it went to and if you put your address in the letter or Christmas card, then who knows, you may just receive a thank you letter back. (: How cool would that be?

2. Compassion Christmas Gift fund:
Compassion sponsored children and children waiting for sponsors get Christmas gifts each year from the Christmas fund. The gift is purchased in the area, improving the local economy, and the children's tutors can choose gifts that will be useful and appreciated by those children. Often these gifts are the only gifts children receive, ever. But not all sponsors give Christmas money, so your donation will be appreciated. If you would like to contribute to this fund, go to:

(If your country is not listed, but is a Compassion sponsor country, find your country's compassion's website, and locate the correct page, or contact the staff and ask them.)
