Operation Christmas Child invites parishoners to fill one or more shoeboxes with their own personal selection of toys, games, personal items and gifts.  The donated boxes are then sent to Samaritan's Purse, a global organization which distributes them to youngsters throughout the world during the holiday season.

Thank-you to all of St. Andrew and friends who worked so hard to top last year's goal. From Odessa: "What a year!.....so far.....550 completed....how exciting that these children will hear about the love of Jesus....the best gift of all"
