Suzanne passed along this idea for a service project for families with children age 13 and over. Processing Center volunteers will be needed for the upcoming Operation Christmas Child to inspect the shoe box gifts and prepare them for shipment overseas. Processing Centers are in Atlanta, GA; Boone, NC; Charlotte, NC; and Denver, CO.

Registration began August 1. To learn more about Operation Christmas Child, which I’ll be talking more about closer to the holidays, visit the web site. For more information about volunteering with Operation Christmas Child in your area, go here.

    That’s terrific! I’ll be starting my promotion of Operation Christmas Child in September as the shoebox drive this year is November 12-19. If your readers need more information, feel free to refer them here:

    The girls at ZTA Sorority Ga Tech collected toys but forgot to drop them off. Where should I drop them off?

    It’s too late to drop them off this year, as the processing has already been done, but you can mail shoeboxes any time of year to the address below.
