Second grade students at Holy Cross Elementary packed 108 shoeboxes to be donated to needy children through the Operation Christmas Child program.
Operation Christmas Child is a program through the Samaritan’s Purse organization which donates shoeboxes filled with needed items to children around the world. The boxes are filled with things such as hygiene products, clothes, socks, school supplies, toys, candy and notes and pictures from those who donated them.
The 108 boxes were donated from the less than 300 students and their families, and faculty and staff from the school. The boxes are taken to Denver, Colorado where they are processed and shipped to locations across the world.
