In Lawrence County, numerous churches opened their doors as collection sites for this year’s Operation Christmas Child initiative, gathering an impressive number of shoebox gifts intended for underprivileged children globally. This charitable effort, organized by Samaritan’s Purse, aims to express God’s love through tangible gifts to those in need.
Since its inception in 1993, Operation Christmas Child has made a significant impact, delivering gifts to over 220 million children across more than 170 countries and territories. The shoeboxes collected locally have been sent to Samaritan’s Purse, where they will be prepared for distribution to children who will benefit from this generous outreach.
