Littleton and Lyndon Churches Collecting Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes Nov. 16-23

Local churches are encouraging church-goers and anyone else in the area to be part of an annual Christmastime outreach with a global impact. Through Operation Christmas Child, shoeboxes are filled with gifts to be delivered in locations throughout the world to children. Volunteers are preparing to collect the shoeboxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 16 – 23. Locally, two churches are designated as collection points: Elevate Church in Littleton, NH, and Lyndon Bible Church. Information about how to pack a shoebox can be found online by going to samaritanspurse.org. Participants can donate $10 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination.
