Operation Christmas Child 2026 Collection Site
Whitesburg First Baptist Church will once again serve as an Operation Christmas Child Collection Site for Southeast Kentucky during National Collection Week, November 16–23, 2026.
Located at 170 Madison Avenue in Downtown Whitesburg, Whitesburg First Baptist Church has proudly served as an Operation Christmas Child collection site for more than 25 years, helping churches, families, schools, organizations, and individuals throughout our region send Gospel-filled shoebox gifts to children around the world.
In 2025 alone, Whitesburg First Baptist Church packed and sent more than 1,300 shoeboxes, while also serving as a collection point for thousands of additional shoeboxes from across Southeast Kentucky.
Each shoebox represents much more than toys, school supplies, and personal care items. It is an opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ and the Good News of the Gospel with a child and family somewhere around the world.
