Operation Christmas Child
I’s 60 days till Christmas and only 17days until the collection of these precious boxes….
basically if you’ve got kids you put a selection of the little things listed below the you stick them in a shoe box and label them…copy the labels off this pdf by printing them…
then chuck in a couple of quid..if you give them your name and address you get to see where these go and it’ll break you heart..homeless/orphaned kids living in gas pipes in Serbia etc etc. BUT it’s really what christmas is about..it cost us a couple of hours and £20 each max and our kids love it…
want to know more see www. samaritanspurse,org (link) look for box appeal!
Janine and Neil collect locally and either of the shops will do the collection as long as it’s before 15th November! Leave your name and address and we’ll make sure they’re passed on for feedback!…
