Operation Christmas Child collections start

National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child begins Monday. buy tiffany

Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project for kids, is a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, the international relief organization run by Franklin Graham.

In this effort, OCC asks residents to fill a shoebox with items that a child would enjoy rings.

Things like toys, school supplies, toiletry items and hard candy and gum bring lots of joy to a child who lives in poverty or is suffering from disease, famine or the harmful effects of war.

If you’d like to participate, determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl and the child’s age bracelets category: ages 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. Mark the top of your box with a label identifying your choices.

Bring the box to the collection site at Jonesboro Heights Baptist Church at 316 W. Main St. during National Collection Week. The hours for collection are 2-6 p.m. Nov. 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 21 and 1-5 p.m. Nov. 22.
