The Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes are now available for you to pick up. Please fill them up with toys (balls, dolls, stuffed animals), school materials, non-liquid hygiene items (soap, toothbrush) but NOT food or candy, toothpaste, breakable items, things that can scare or harm a child and items that leak, melt or freeze. Please donate $10 per box for shipping purposes.
Another way to contribute is to bring the mentioned items above to church and place it in the Operation Christmas Child box found at the entrance, which the Daughters of the King members would package later on.
Deadline: first weekend of November 2017
