  The church at Carbondale will again serve as a collection point for Operation Christmas Child.  We are asking YOU to pack shoe boxes with gifts for children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty.

 In 2009, the Carbondale area contributed 605 shoe boxes to the Operation Christmas Child effort. This year we have set a goal to collect 1000 shoe boxes from area families, kids, churches, schools and civic organizations. The Property Shop is generously donating their moving truck again this year to transport all the boxes to Grand Junction where they will be sent to the distribution center in Denver and then around the world.    

 Operation Christmas Child uses tracking technology that allows donors to “follow your box” to the destination country where it will be hand-delivered to a child in need.

 To register shoe box gifts and find out what country they are delivered to, use the EZ Give donation form found at www.samaritanspurse.org.
  
Collection dates and times at the Church at Carbondale, 110 Snowmass Drive, will be: November 15, 17 and 19, 11 AM – 1 PM; November 16 and 18, 5-7 PM, November 20, 10 AM – 1 PM; November 21, Noon – 3 PM.
