National Collection Week 

November 17-23, 2025

Please bring your filled boxes to Grace Lutheran Church, front door along Sarcee Rd, during posted collection times.

We will collecting items throughout the year, as per the schedule to the right.

In early November, we will get together to pack these items into boxes, to be ready for National Collection week.

You are invited to bring new items, to the church on Sunday's or during regular office hours, throughout the year, and leave that at our designated Operation Christmas Child display in the foyer.

We also have a supply of empty boxes for you to fill on your own. Feel free to grab one anytime during the year. 

If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please contact Nadine by clicking HERE

We often get question about what to include in a box and what cannot be included. Please see below for these items
