Candies Creek Baptist Church

The Shoebox Sisters is a multi-generational group of women who love the Lord and want to assist in world evangelism by packing shoeboxes with hygiene products and goodies for kids aged 2 to 14 years. We meet every other Friday at 9:30 in the church fellowship hall to go about the task for the day and enjoy the community generated by sharing in a common purpose.

Fellowship With A Purpose:

Supporting Samaritan Purse’s Operation Christmas Child by filling shoeboxes year round for the children of the world and the glory of God.






“My time has never been as well spent as it is now.  I love it.  Shoeboxes have always had a special place in my heart.  Who knew I would ever have the opportunity to become so involved with them.  What a blessing it is.”
