Past: Operation Christmas Child Workshop

Operation Christmas Child is off to a good start in 2017. Since 1993, millions of shoebox gifts have been delivered to children in over 120 countries.

The goal for the Southeast area is 18,000 shoeboxes. That means that 18,000 children will be able to receive a Christmas gift of toys, hygiene items, clothing, and school supplies.

There will be an Operation Christmas Child Workshop to help answer any questions, inform of some changes, share ideas of items to put in the box, fundraising ideas, demonstrations of crafts, plus much more, from 10 a.m. to noon August 26, at First Baptist Church, 210 North A St. in Farmington, Missouri.

The event is free, and anyone interested in OCC is invited. For more information, please call (573) 218-8690.
