Operation Christmas Child - Shoebox Event
Operation Christmas Child, the largest Christmas project of its kind, sends gift-filled shoe boxes to children who are suffering from natural disaster, disease, war, famine and poverty. For many children, this will be the only gift they receive this holiday season.
Colts Neck Community Church (25 Merchants Way, Colts Neck 732-462-2779), in conjunction with Chick-Fil-A, has opened its doors to NJ residents to pick up Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. Stop in Tuesday, November 5, 2013 to pick up your shoe box to support Operation Christmas Child at Chick-Fil-A locations at the Freehold Raceway Mall and Howell (4881 Route 9). Return the shoebox on Tuesday, November 12, 2013.
These shoe boxes can be filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items and they provide a wonderful opportunity to help needy children in a simple, tangible way.
