Church a collection site for gift-filled shoeboxes
Woodland Park Community Church will serve as a collection point for Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project.
Woodland Park residents are packing shoebox gifts for children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty.
From Woodland Park, the shoebox gifts will be sorted and sent to suffering children around the world.
Gifts can be dropped off from 2-7 p.m. Nov. 16-17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 18, from noon to 7 p.m. Nov. 19-20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 21 and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 22 at Woodland Park Community Church.
In 2008, the Woodland Park area contributed 496 shoeboxes to the Operation Christmas Child effort. This year, organizers hope to collect 600 gift-filled shoe boxes from families, kids, churches, schools and civic organizations in the area.
For information on how to participate, call 303-745-9179 or visit www.samaritanspurse.org. National Collection Week is Nov. 16-23.
