Thank you one and all for your participation in Operation Christmas Child. This year we collected 40 shoeboxes. These boxes will be distributed to those children who have never received a present due to war, natural disaster, poverty, illness or neglect. We appreciate all of you for your caring spirit.

Thank you again for your work and generosity.
