Operation Christmas Child Packing Party

Each year Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian humanitarian organization, sends Christmas gifts to millions of children around the world through a program called Operation Christmas Child. These gifts–shoe boxes packed with toys and school supplies by volunteers like us–show the children the love of God.

This year you (and your family and friends) are invited to participate in Operation Christmas Child with your Faculty Commons colleagues!

Here’s the plan:

When: Sunday Nov 8 at 2:30 pm

What: Shopping together for gifts and then packing the gifts into boxes

Where: Shopping at Target at 11990 Los Osos Valley Rd, SLO.  Meet at the front entrance of Target.

Where #2: Packing gifts into boxes at David & Molly ZagRodny’s home (3975 Sunrose Lane, SLO) around 3:30 the same day.

Who: You, your family, and your friends are all invited!  Invite other colleagues, bring your kids, the more the merrier.

Why: Because Operation Christmas Child is an awesome way to show the love of Christ to a child in need.

If you can, please RSVP to Molly ZagRodny (molly.zagrodny@facultycommons.org) or Heather DeBruhl (hdebruhl@calpoly.edu) to let us know you are coming, but feel free to come even if you do not RSVP.

Finally, for more information about Operation Christmas Child you can visit their  website and/ or watch this short video.  We hope you’ll join us!

Blessings,

Heather DeBruhl and Molly ZagRodny
