Operation Christmas Child is a program that provides children in third world countries with a Christmas present to ensure they have a happy holiday season with the help of community members throughout Canada.
Over 157 million shoeboxes full of toys and other items have been sent to children over the past 26 years and this year shoes boxes from Canada will be sent to countries in Central America and Africa.
Shoe boxes and information pamphlets will be made available at Grub Box, The Pas Regional Library, The Pas Alliance Church, and other churches in the area very soon for you to put together a fun package for a child in need.
Boxes can be dropped off at participating locations from November 18th until the 24th.
