Parker, Castle Rock and Elizabeth help Operation Christmas Child
It’s beginning to look like Christmas in Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown and Elizabeth, as local businesses, churches and homes prepare to serve as collection points for Operation Christmas Child.
Gifts can be dropped off from Nov. 16-23 at the following sites and times:
Pinecrest Community Church, 7165 N. Delbert Road, Parker, CO 80138, 720-851-2300. From 4-6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 9-11 a.m. and 2-5 p.m. Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday; and 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
Heritage EV Free Church, 555 N. Heritage Ave., Castle Rock, CO 80104, 303-660-9911. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to noon Saturday; 8 a.m to 3 p.m. Sunday and 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 23.
Son Country Community Church, 7114 Sun Country Drive, Elizabeth, CO 80107, (303) 646-2728. From 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday by appointment; 7-9 p.m. Wednesday; 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday; and 9 a.m. to noon Friday and Saturday.
Soon, with the help of local volunteers, these sites will be brimming with festively wrapped shoe boxes full of gifts.
Through Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project, Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth residents are packing shoe box gifts for children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty. From these towns the shoe box gifts will be sorted and sent using whatever means necessary — sea containers, trucks, trains, airplanes, boats, camels, even dog sleds — to reach suffering children around the world.
In 2008, the Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth areas contributed 2,965 boxes to the Operation Christmas Child effort. This year, organizers hope to collect 3,500 gift-filled shoe boxes from families, kids, churches, schools and civic organizations in the area.
