Community collection of all boxes filled will take place from November 13 to 19 at Century Meadows Baptist Church. Operation Christmas Child boxes that are filled and donated will be distributed by Samaritan’s Purse, the recognized Christian relief and development organization. Regular, average-sized boxes with lids or official shoeboxes, available at the Church, should be packed for one of these age groups: 2 to 4, 5 to 9 or 10 to 14. Ideal gifts include items such as a doll, soccer ball with pump, stuffed animal or other fun toys. Hygiene items and school supplies are always greatly appreciated by recipients. A personal note, even a photo, will be treasured by the child who will receive your gift. Two final points: a prayer for the child who will receive the Christmas present you send is highly recommended. A donation of $10 for each shoebox you send will help cover shipping of your gift to a far-away destination.
