Operation Christmas Child |
|
|
| |
This 2007 holiday
season, the PVBC
family will take part again in Operation Christmas Child, a project of
Samaritan Purse. Filling shoe boxes with small toys, school
supplies,
hygiene products and other gifts is one way that we are able to share
Christ's love with a needy child.
A group of PVBC Youth and Adults also
will spend their day after Thanksgiving not at the mall, but at the
Operation Christmas Child warehouse in Orange County. There they will help
check over the shoe boxes donated by various indivduals and
organizations and package the boxes for shipping to such destinations
as the Philippines,
Mexico, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Panama, Nepal and China.
Sign up if you plan to go to the warehouse at a new location in Irvine. We are leaving from the
PVBC parking lot at 9 a.m. on Friday, November 23rd and returning
around 4 p.m. You must be at least 13 years old to attend.

WRAPPING
Use your own shoe
boxes or buy the smaller plastic containers at the nearby 99 Cent
Store. Wrap your box if you like (not required) but be sure to wrap the
lid separate.
SHIPPING
Brochures will be available at the Connection Table. Include a check or money order
donation to "Samaritan's Purse" for $7 or more for each box to help
cover shipping and other costs. Tape a "Boy" or "Girl" label onto each
box (found on the back of the brochure). |
