Thank you Glen Mar Church for supporting the Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box appeal.  Ninety-three boxes were delivered to the collection sites. This was my first year being in charge of this event, and  I appreciate the support and well wishes from many. I’m looking forward to next year. I was able to do this with the help of Jean and Phil Maase and my husband Jeff.

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.  This program started in 1993 and has collected over 209 million boxes since then.
