Operation Christmas Child ~ It's that time of the year again....to fill a box for a boy or girl and this box will be sent to foreign countries where children hardly have such a thing...receiving a Christmas gift! So people all over the US began in November to do these boxes: filling a box for a Boy or Girl and you decide what age you would like to work with!
Then you go to the store and do a little shopping to fill the box...fun things that a child that age bracket would enjoy! Flashlight, hair pens, ball, doll, truck, yo-yo etc!
Then you bring it back to the collecting area and in this
case it was the church we attend!
We packed in the 2 cars...
We then drove the boxes to another town where MORE boxes would be delivered at,
and then they would be loaded into a truck to be taken to the Portland Airport and flown to the east coast
North Carolina!
There Operation Christmas Child Boxes would be put into containers and flown to the different countries!
Oh the JOY of receiving a gift BOX!!!!
Some of the children have never received Christmas presents before!
Our little town of Port Orford did 172 boxes this year! Yeah Port Orford....that's Great!
What a blessing to be involved with this! It's the 'best' to get involved doing something and knowing it brings such happiness during the Christmas season!
