Community Christian Church, located at 305 W. Main Ave., is the local dropoff site for the Samaritan’s Purse project, Operation Christmas Child—joining nearly 5,000 U.S. locations collecting gift-filled shoeboxes for children in need around the world.
During the project’s National Collection Week (Nov. 13 -20), Morgan Hill residents can help transform empty shoeboxes into gifts of hope filled with school supplies, hygiene items and fun toys. Operation Christmas Child will deliver these shoebox gifts to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine.
This year, the Greater Silicon Valley California Area Team hopes to contribute more than 30,395 shoebox gifts toward the 2017 global goal of reaching 12 million children.
“We are honored to join the nationwide effort to collect gift-filled shoeboxes for children who may have never experienced the true meaning of Christmas,” said Regional Director Nathan Bates. “Through these simple gifts and a message of hope, children learn that God loves them and has not forgotten them.”
