Called to do immeasurably more

In fall 2023, the Charleston Southern University campus community made history again; we broke a national record for the fourth year in a row with more than 13,000 boxes for Operation Christmas Child, packing more shoeboxes than any other college or university in the nation. Read more about that here.

God does not call us to do the minimum. He equips us; He encourages us, and He calls us to do immeasurably more. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect the passion of Christ to a hurting world. Regardless if you are a student, faculty, staff members or Board of Trustee member, you were designed with a purpose and you make a difference!

Operation Christmas Child at Charleston Southern is just one of the many stamps you will receive on your CSU Passport to Purpose. It’s a destination where you will create a lot of great memories, accomplish more than you ever dreamed, but more importantly, it’s where your purpose and your passion come together, and you find yourself reaching your potential, breaking national records, unlocking opportunities you never thought possible.

Reach the potential God has for you — don’t do the minimum, do immeasurably more! We will be collecting supplies and donations year-round. Join us on the journey by donating goods or contributing to the fund!
