Christine Thompson, Room D4

St Joseph's Primary School has been invited to once again take part in Operation Christmas Child.

Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It partners with local churches in developing nations to reach out to children by providing gift-filled shoeboxes and bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ. After receiving shoebox gifts, many children are also invited back to participate in The Greatest Journey – an evangelism and discipleship program.

Families are invited to fill a box with items which is then sent to a child in need. Include something from each of the 6 categories.

• Something to wear
• Something to play with
• Something for school
• Something to love
• Something special
• Something for personal hygiene

Boxes can be collected and returned to Room D4 by Friday 11 October, 2019.

There is a $10 postage fee that can be paid online.

Please do not seal the box with tape, just put a plastic band around it. All boxes are checked by the volunteer at Operation Christmas Child before they are posted off.
