City Calvary collects shoe boxes of gifts for overseas children in need

Volunteers transporting shoeboxes

City Calvary Chapel in Shoreline was again the drop-off Depot for the North for Samaritan's Purse annual Operation Christmas Child which gathers shoe boxes filled with gifts, school supplies, toys and toothbrushes.

 
While many people fill and ship boxes online now, we collected 777 boxes, and hauled then to Lynnwood where they are transported to a port city in California for shipment to the Far East and beyond. 

For a video of the children worldwide receiving Christmas boxes, perhaps being gifted for the first time in their lives, go to Samaritan's Purse.
