Well Operation Christmas Child was a success!

A couple weeks ago I wrote about a friendly competition between my office and another office in town. (Check out my last blog about Operation Christmas Child if you need to catch up.)

The 2 offices together collected 12 shoeboxes. Twelve may not sound like very many, but that was 12 more shoeboxes than we would have had if we didn't have our little challenge. Now the bigger picture. We added those 12 shoeboxes to the other shoeboxes collected around our little valley. Do you wanna know how many shoeboxes we were able to send out to kids who would have no Christmas this year?

1430! That's right, our little valley put together over 1400 boxes. That is more boxes than last year. Even in this tough time people are still willing to give. If you think you can't make a difference think again. If any of those who donated a shoebox are reading this, I just want to say Thank You! You are AMAZING!

Here is a picture of some of the volunteers that loaded those shoe boxes yesterday to be shipped to the larger distribution center. Behind them are the shipping boxes full of shoeboxes that will be given out as Christmas presents this year. Each shipping box holds 10-18 shoeboxes.
