Members of the Grace Preparatory School Community Service Club filled two shoe boxes to be donated to Operation Christmas Child sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse International.
Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has collected and delivered more than 113 million gift-filled shoe boxes to children in over 150 countries through Operation Christmas Child.
In 2014, Samaritan’s Purse hopes to collect enough shoe box gifts to reach another 10 million children.
“We filled the boxes with toys and cards. I think our boxes are going to Canada,” said Jillian Pelt, 7.
Where the boxes actually go is a mystery but the joy they will bring is guaranteed. More information on Operation Christmas Child can be found at samaritanspurse.org.
