Operation Christmas Child

Each year we participate in Operation Christmas Child thru the organization Samaritans purse. We buy a rubber maid box and fill it with toys, candy, hygiene utensils, etc and then it gets sent to a child in another country who would not get a present otherwise. We really enjoy doing this. This year we really got Ryan involved and explained to him what we were doing. Bill made a money jar and whenever we had extra change we would put it in the jar. Ryan got money out of his piggy bank and contributed to the cause. When we were ready to buy the items we had collected $15.00. We went to the dollar tree and bought quite a bit for this child. We came home and Ryan (and Blake) helped us fill the box with toys. I hope that this will start to instill a sense of giving in my boys.
