Littleton prepares for Operation Christmas Child
Christmas is arriving early all over Littleton, as Life Care Center of Littleton, Mardel Christian and Education, and Calvary South Denver prepare to serve as collection points for Operation Christmas Child. Soon, with the help of Littleton volunteers, the sites will be brimming with festively wrapped shoe boxes full of gifts.
Through Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project, Littleton residents are packing shoe box gifts for children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty. From Littleton, 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.
Items can be dropped off:
Calvary South Denver: from 1-5 p.m. Nov. 16-19 and Nov. 21, from 1-7 p.m. Nov. 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 22, and from 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 23.
Life Care Center of Littleton: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 16-22.
Mardel No. 17 Inc. Retail Store, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 16-17 and 19-21, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 18, by appointment Nov. 22, and from 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 23.
In 2008, the Littleton area contributed 3,609 shoe boxes to the Operation Christmas Child effort. This year, organizers hope to collect 5,000 gift-filled shoe boxes from families, kids, churches, schools and civic organizations in the area.
