COLLEGE COMMUNITY CHARITY COLLECTIONS

Operation Christmas Child: Shoe Boxes

Each year Southern Vales partners with Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child. We collect donations to
fill gift shoeboxes which are then given to children in developing countries. The gifts included in the shoeboxes
are something to wear, something to play with, something for school, something to love, something special and
something for personal hygiene. It is such a special opportunity for our students to learn the value of giving to
others at Christmas time. Thank you to the parents and families who helped support this worthy cause.
