Collection for Operation Christmas Child

One of our annual missions we perform as a group is participating in Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes. We made 70 gift boxes for OCC in 2007 and have a goal of 100 boxes in 2008!
We need help collecting the following items:
  • small toys (i.e. Happy Meal toys or the like)
  • school supplies
  • hygiene items
  • other items such as hard candy, socks, hair clips, jewelry, watches, etc.

We will designate an entire meeting in November to filling plastic shoeboxes with these items, wrapping them and preparing them for shipment. This is a major undertaking! Please start planning now to help us reach our goal!
