This is the 29th year that Operation Christmas Child has been sending shoe boxes filled with items for the boys and girls who live in need to over 100 countries.
These boys and girls only receive one shoe box in a life time. Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes are packed in three age groups. 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14.
Last year the people of Grenfell packed and sent 457 shoe boxes which brought good news and great joy to boys and girls in Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Cambodia.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse and is a hands-on way for people to help children in need by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and fun gifts.
