Operation Christmas Child prepares to deliver gifts to children around the world
You can help spread the joy, it all starts with a shoebox and a collection week runs from November 14-21.
FOX 2 (WJBK) – As the holiday season approaches, a group called “Operation Christmas Child” is gearing up to deliver presents to children around the world – and you can help spread the joy.

The collection week is from November 14 to 21. To learn more, visit the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child site here.
