A long-running program that sends out Christmas gifts to less fortunate children all over the world is back again this year.
Those who take part in Operation Christmas Child are asked to fill a shoebox with gifts, and drop them off at Dauphin’s Grace Bible Church.
Erin Heppner is a volunteer with the church and explains how the program works.
“It’s basically sharing hope with children who have never received a Christmas gift just through a simple shoebox filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, etc. and it goes to a child in an underdeveloped country.”
Boxes are available to pick up at the Grace Bible Church, or at the Dauphin Marketplace Mall inside the Red Apple and Aitken’s Jewelers.
Once boxes are filled they can be dropped off at the church from November 2nd to 8th, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For more information, you can call Erin Heppner at (204) 918-7671.
