Operation Christmas Child touches the lives of millions of boys and girls in over 50 countries, and for some, it will be the only gift they receive.

Many, heartfelt thanks go to our generous community for sending over 100 boxes to brighten the lives of these children.

Special thanks to the Presbyterian church for their generosity in being the collection site and the Mary Martha Circle ladies for their cheerful help coordinating this event.

The lovely ladies at King Marine saved bags of shoeboxes to be wrapped for the event and Friday Harbor Freight generously donated time and transportation to get the filed shoe boxes to the distribution point in Burlington. They all have made this effort for several years and we are blessed to have this generosity in our community.

God bless all of you who helped make this project possible. May you share in the joy your gifts will bring to the children who will be excited beyond measure for their “surprises”.

Merry Christmas.
