Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Collection Week is underway and will continue through Monday.Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, allowing individuals an opportunity to pack a shoebox with toys, school supplies, clothing, and hygiene items. The shoeboxes are then delivered to children in need around the world. For many of these children the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.Operation Christmas Child is in its 25th year. During this time, over 157 million shoeboxes have been distributed in more than 160 countries. This year, the goal is 11 million, with organizers in North Central Arkansas hoping to distribute 14,000.
