Christmas isn't just a season.
It’s an admiration and celebration of God, who sent His son Jesus to earth to bring all who believe in him the gift of salvation. And as Christians, we get to celebrate Christmas everyday!
Because of generous donors like you, our 2023 shoebox collection last year was incredible! We were able to gift shoeboxes to hundreds of children at all four of our CARHA's campuses, as well as children and students in surrounding neighborhoods and villages.
So this year, CARHA is celebrating Christmas in July in preparation for all God is going to do in the lives of children and families in Haiti through our Shoebox Ministry!
