Operation Christmas Child-Samartian's Purse

Hidden Valley Presbyterian Church is the collection point for the South Valley for Operation Christmas Child. If you would like to participate, please fill a shoe box with items like the ones suggested below. If you live near me and want to build a box you can drop them off with me and I will deliver them to the church collection point. They need to be delivered by Nov. 14 and there is a $7 shipping fee that if you pay on line you can track your package to see where it goes. Otherwise include it in the package (see instructions http://www.samaritanspurse.org/). See the video's below for more information. All the information is on the Samaritan's Purse site and you can download a lable. Debbie 854 W 3280 N (801 341 8006) Check out these links below. Thanks
