Thank you to the St. Thomas Aquinas High School families that participated in the CSAC Operation Christmas Child donation drive, a unique worldwide outreach of Samaritan’s Purse. Each year this organization share’s God’s love with millions of poor, sick, and suffering children by hand-delivering these shoeboxes.
Approximately 80 shoeboxes filled with a variety of gifts such as toys, school supplies, hygiene items, socks, hair clips, mints, gum, and other gifts will be sent to poor children in third world countries. These Christmas presents not only bring great joy to girls and boys, they also open hearts to bring the Good News of God’s love to millions of hurting children and their families. This project is personal: shoebox is as unique as the person packing it! Most of the children receiving the gifts come from families that are not able to give them Christmas presents. For most of them, these are the first gifts they’ve ever received. They will never forget it.
Thank you for bringing God’s love to His most precious gift: children!
