Ireland
If you are based in the Republic of Ireland, there are lots of great ways to get involved in the work of Samaritan's Purse - from packing gift-filled shoeboxes to going on a sponsored walk for water or even volunteering in a local warehouse.
Operation Christmas Child in Ireland
Operation Christmas Child is one of Ireland's largest children's charity projects. This annual shoebox appeal is all about giving simple gifts to children in need. It starts in your hands and ends up in theirs.
It works something like this:
1) You wrap and pack a shoebox filled with little gifts;
2) We check it and send it overseas;
3) Our overseas partners deliver it to a child in need. It's that simple.
What's more, by taking part in Operation Christmas Child, you will also be helping local churches globally to share the Good News of Jesus through The Greatest Journey - our 12 series discipleship programme.
For more information about Operation Christmas Child in the UK and Ireland - including ideas on what to put in your shoeboxes - please click here.
- If you are based in the Republic of Ireland, orders for resources is now closed. However, you can either download a leaflet or do an online shoebox instead.

Turn on the Tap in Ireland
Turn on the Tap is our campaign for clean water in the developing world. It's about children, adults, schools, churches, community groups - anyone who shares our passion - coming together to end water poverty for some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people.
The funds raised through Turn on the Tap go towards the water and sanitation projects of Samaritan's Purse.
We have lots of ideas for individuals, families and groups who want to get involved. It's the perfect campaign for anyone who thinks, "That's such a big problem...there's nothing I can do," because it's all about doing fun and practical things that will literally save lives.
See our video: Providing Clean Water, Saving Lives
