Resident looking for contributions for Operation Christmas Child project

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Rachel Feldkamp for the information this story.)

Operation Christmas Child is an organization that sends shoe boxes filled by residents to people all over the world.

My son, who was 6 years old at the time, loved this idea, and last year we collected a lot of items and had a packing party. We shipped more than 30 boxes and included a brush or comb, toothbrush and paste, bar of soap, some school supply items and a few nice toys.

Six people come to my house bring items to include in the boxes. I also had lots of people donate money to help buy items and to pay for shipping the boxes, which cost $7 per box.
