Communities Pack Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes To Help Children In Need

GERING, NE - For over 25 years, panhandle residents have been a part of Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse that shares the true meaning of Christmas with children in need around the world. Volunteers from the panhandle region will gather to kick off collection season—with a goal of packing 3700 shoeboxes with fun toys, school supplies and personal care items. These gift-filled shoeboxes will contribute to the project’s global goal of reaching more than 12 million children in Jesus’ Name.
