About the Organization:
Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His son, Jesus Christ.
BAPC Involvement:
BAPC has a long history of contributing to Operation Christmas Child. These gift-filled shoeboxes are sent to children in desperate situations around the world. (In 2003, Samaritan’s Purse collected over 6.6 million shoebox gifts during Operation Christmas Child worldwide and distributed them to children in about 95 countries.) BAPC is proud to have been a small part of that huge success.
