Samaritan Purse

Supporting Hope Around the World

Toyota of Corvallis & Samaritan’s Purse

At Toyota of Corvallis, we believe that giving back extends far beyond our local community—sometimes all the way around the world. That’s why we are honored to support Samaritan’s Purse, a global humanitarian organization dedicated to helping people in crisis and spreading hope to communities in need.

One of the programs we are especially proud to support is Operation Christmas Child, a meaningful initiative that brings joy, care, and precious gifts to children in vulnerable situations.

Who Samaritan’s Purse Is

Samaritan’s Purse is a nonprofit organization that provides spiritual and physical aid to people suffering from poverty, disaster, war, disease, and famine. Guided by Christian values, their mission is to demonstrate God’s love by delivering relief wherever it’s needed most.

Their work includes:

• Disaster response and recovery

• Medical and health initiatives

• Community development and clean water projects

• Seasonal outreach efforts like Operation Christmas Child

• Long-term support for families in hardship

Through their global reach, Samaritan’s Purse brings practical help and heartfelt hope to millions of people each year.

What Operation Christmas Child Is

Operation Christmas Child is one of Samaritan’s Purse’s most beloved programs. Every holiday season, volunteers from around the world fill shoeboxes with gifts, school supplies, hygiene items, and special treats for children who might not otherwise receive a gift.

Each shoebox becomes more than a present—it becomes a message of love, encouragement, and care from someone who took the time to prepare it. The gifts are distributed to children in need in dozens of countries, and each one has the power to brighten a child’s Christmas and create lasting memories.

Our Role in Supporting Operation Christmas Child

We are proud to support Operation Christmas Child as part of our commitment to community and compassion. Over the years, Toyota of Corvallis has participated by:

• Collecting donated items for shoebox gifts

• Hosting packing drives where community members help prepare boxes

• Encouraging team members and customers to join in giving

• Supporting awareness and participation through outreach and events

Though these gifts take many forms, the heart behind them is the same: a desire to bring joy, hope, and encouragement to children who need it most.

Why This Work Matters to Us

At Toyota of Corvallis, we believe generosity is a powerful force for good. This is a near and dear organization to our the Jackson Family who owns Toyota of Corvallis. Supporting Operation Christmas Child aligns with our values of compassion, community, and connection because it:

• Encourages people to think beyond themselves

• Provides practical care to children and families in vulnerable situations

• Builds a sense of global community and shared humanity

• Creates a tangible impact that brings joy to children across the world

Our support of this program allows us to be part of something bigger—something that reaches far beyond our local community and touches lives in distant places where hope is needed most.

Join Us in Giving Hope
