Arvest Bank and North Central Arkansas Operation Christmas Child have teamed together to provide empty shoeboxes for anyone packing a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. The goal of this project is to provide gifts for children impacted by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine and disease. 
Shoeboxes are available at Arvest Bank branches in Mountain Home, Harrison and Yellville, Ark. Once filled, drop the shoebox off Nov. 14-21 at a local drop off center. To find the drop off center nearest you, go to
Samaritan's Purse*, click “Drop-Off Locations” and enter your zip code.
For more information about North Central Arkansas Operation Christmas Child, contact Jerry Strobel, area director for OCC, at (870) 404-7115.
