Operation Christmas Child

We will be putting together our boxes for Operation Christmas Child at our next meeting - November 8th. We will pack the boxes together during the meeting.

 

We will be packing 25 boxes, so the supplies you bring will be going in all of those boxes. Each table is responsible to bring three boxes to pack. Please make sure they are a standard-size shoe boxes. The ages of the children who will receive these boxes range from two to fourteen, so keep that range in mind while you shop. The Dollar Store and Walmart are great places to find a lot of these items for a good price.
