Annual Shoebox Mission Trip

What begins as a simple act of packing small items of love and care becomes a life-changing experience—both for the children who receive the gifts and the volunteers who deliver them!
A Journey of Hope and Connection
Each year, our team and volunteers travel to Haiti to personally deliver Christmas Shoebox sized  gifts to children across our CARHA campuses and local communities.

Our mission trips are more than distribution days. They are moments of genuine connection—sharing smiles, prayers, and encouragement with children and families in need. Volunteers witness firsthand the joy these shoeboxes bring and the impact they have in reminding each child that they are seen, valued, and loved.


Why Shoeboxes Matter
Each shoebox is packed with essentials, toys, school supplies, and personal notes from donors. For many children, it may be the only gift they receive all year. But beyond the items themselves, shoeboxes communicate hope—hope that reaches into classrooms, churches, and communities throughout Haiti.
YOU Make This Mission Possible
Every shoebox packed, every donation given, and every prayer lifted carries tremendous impact. Your support helps us continue sharing Christ’s love and meets tangible needs across our communities. Whether you join us on a future trip or support from afar, you are part of this mission. Together, we are delivering joy, restoring hope, and investing in the next generation of Haitian leaders.
