OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD 2019 - SHOEBOX APPEAL

Posted by R.Broad on October 16, 2019

 

 

 

Young Saints will be making up shoeboxes again this year for Operation Christmas Child. They will be for boys or girls aged 5-9. We would welcome donations of toys, stationary, hygiene items, sweets, gloves etc. Please check leaflets in church to see what is allowed, as there are some restrictions. Items should be new. Donations of money are also needed, as it costs £5 to transport each box. Shoeboxes (ideally wrapped in colourful paper) also welcome. Please bring your donations before Sunday 10th November. Last year, we donated a record 94 boxes and it would be great to match, or exceed, that this year! If you have any questions, please ask Jenny or Hazel Wilks
