Help us Make 100 Kids Happy this Christmas!

By Shirley C. & Sylvina N. - Macaroni Kid Covina-West Covina October 19, 2016
WE WANT TO MAKE A CHILD IN NEED HAPPY THIS CHRISTMAS, DO YOU?

Every year during this season Sylvina and I pack shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child.  We pack shoeboxes fill with kids toys or necessities and send them all over the world for a child in need during Christmas.  Every year our families take this opportunity to teach our kids about giving and about how we can reach kids with the joy of Christmas.

Since 1993, OCC has delivered over 113 million shoeboxes to kids who often have very little and smile with joy at a free gift! Each year, these shoeboxes reach those smiling faces by plane, boat, train, truck, helicopter, dogsled, donkey -- even camel and yak!

We would love to reach a GOAL OF 100 shoeboxes this year!

And this year we decided to invite friends and families to do this together with us.  If you would love to make a child happy this season please join us in packing a shoebox or two for a child in need.
