OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Children Around the World Need Your Help
Each year we support Operation Christmas Child to provide gift boxes for children all over the world who are living in difficult circumstances. In 2022 everyone generously gave gifts to send 74 boxes (31more than in 2021) plus £350 carriage donations via Samaritan’s Purse ‘Operation Christmas Child’ to children living in poverty in Moldova. We held a pop up cafe on the 23rd September to raise funds for this year's appeal and we are acting as a local collection point for other organisations' boxes. The distribution of shoeboxes at the destination is always via a trusted Christian church or charity which is important as some boxes will go to countries that do not have the same social, politcal and religious freedoms that we enjoy. Our boxes have now been dispatched but you can still get involved by building a box online - follow the link at the bottom of the page to Samaritans Purse.
