Samaritans Purse: Operation Christmas Child
We are supporting this project again this year. Its a simple idea to bring joy to a child at Christmas who might otherwise have nothing. Cover a shoe box with Christmas paper and then fill it with gifts for a child, there are 3 age bands to choose from, then bring it to the shop or the church for onward shipping. Closing date is the 17th November 2018. More details in both venues or online at www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child Thank you.
