Operation Christmas Child is a nationwide service being carried out every year by church groups, youth groups, families and individuals.
They pack shoeboxes with hygiene items, school supplies, small toys, games, hard candies, and clothing.
The boxes are labeled for boys and girls with age groups clearly marked.
When the boxes have been put together, they are brought to a drop-off location. From there, they are sorted and then shipped to different parts of the world.
These gifts are sent to many places where they don't have access to the items they receive in their gift boxes.
It is a huge blessing to these children and their families. It is also a great way to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
When a family puts their address and their picture in the box, they may receive a letter and picture from those who received their gift.
It is a wonderful experiance for everyone who is a part of it. It is a great tradition for the holiday season.
