Operation Christmas Child National Collection Week
Columbus/Phenix City families are participating in the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind “Operation Christmas Child” an effort that has hand-delivered 86 million gifts to kids worldwide since 1993. A group of local volunteers is focused on filling empty shoe boxes with school supplies, toys, hygiene items and notes of encouragement for needy kids overseas.
This year-round project of Samaritan’s Purse is coming to its peak, as local businesses, churches and schools prepare to collect gift-filled shoe boxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 14-21.
