226 children will receive a gift this Christmas

By Joan Janzen

A total of 226 shoeboxes containing gifts for girls and boys around the world, arrived at New Life Community Church on Tuesday, November 15, where volunteers got the boxes ready for shipping. The gift boxes were brought by groups, churches and individuals from Eston, Kindersley and Luseland. Operation Christmas Child delivers joy to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes. Each box is packed with toys, school supplies, and personal care items. For many, it is their first gift ever! Thanks to the generosity of local communities, 226 children will receive a Christmas gift this year!
