Operation Christmas Child ~ 2020 Edition

This year so many things we typically do are either being canceled or being done differently and WCA's Operation Christmas Child is no exception!

Since we will not be able to hold our traditional packing day this year, there are two options available for our families to still be able to participate in this wonderful ministry.

Option 1 - Pack a shoebox at home & bring to WCA the week of November 16th.

Option 2 - Pack a box online for a $25 donation.

Please follow this link for additional details.  Now, more than ever, children around the world need hope!
