First UMC, 310 S. Main Street, Lexington, NC 27292, is the OCC Shoebox Relay Center in Davidson County.
As the shoeboxes from all across the community are delivered at the State Street entrance, volunteers receive and pack them in larger shipping boxes for delivery to the OCC Processing Center in Charlotte, NC via tractor-trailer truck.
Each September, a Community OCC Kick-Off is hosted at First UMC to give people the opportunity to get their supplies for their church and/or community campaign.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD 2021
Children Helping Children
Judy Deal shopped all year for the perfect items to be packed into an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. Members of our congregation who were interested in having a shoebox packed with these wonderful items, donated $25 per shoebox.
The children and their families joined together to take the wonderful items that Judy has purchased and had an outdoor Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing party at the home of Judy & William Deal on Sunday, November 7 at 4pm. The shoeboxes that were filled were those that individuals from the church made donations for along with monies that the Missions Committee provided.
96 OCC Shoeboxes were packed!
The children and their families had a wiener roast after packing the shoeboxes.
