The Operation Christmas Child Collection Site in Cumming Georgia coordinated by our own Vanderhoff Team member, Cheryl Snow, collected over 4000 shoe box gifts during National Collection Week in November. Cheryl worked with Horizon Christian Academy to organize the more than 40 volunteers, including students, teachers & parents, and oversee the operation of the site. She admits that it was more of an undertaking than she had anticipated, but the blessings far outweighed the time and energy spent on the project. The fact that so many in our great community of Forsyth County would take their time to pack & wrap these gifts for a child they may never know is heart-warming.
Operation Christmas Child is a program created by non-profit organization Samaritan's Purse. Schools, churches, groups, families & individuals all over the world get together every year to pack a shoe box with gifts for needy children in over 93 countries.
