Operation Christmas Child: Our Goal is 52! Why 52? There’s a little more to that number than you might think! This year, Central Methodist Church has set a goal of filling 52 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes—inspired by the story of the five loaves and two fish. The cost of each shoebox is $30. You can donate online here or write a check to Central Methodist Church, and we will build the box for you. If you have any questions, please contact the church office at 704-739-2471.
