The Gift of Hope

Samaritan’s Purse not only organizes Operation Christmas Child,  but throughout the year are working to provide disaster relief, clean water, medical care, shelter, and more to families in need.

Every year, thousands of Canadians and others around the world shop for small toys, school supplies, and small items to fill shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  These boxes are sent to children who may never have received a gift at Christmas before.  It’s a small thing to do that could bring a smile to the face of a child.

Many local schools and churches will organize the collection of shoe boxes or they can be dropped off at any Safeway or Greyhound location.

More information on packing gift boxes can be found at www.samaritanspurse.ca

Collection week in Canada for 2008 is November 24 - 29.

Tip of the Week:

To make your tights last longer, leave them in the package and freeze them overnight before you wear them.  After washing, squeeze out the excess water, place them in a ziploc bag and freeze them again.  Freezing them strengthens the fibers so they’re less likely to run for no reason!

We can’t always avoid snags but can stop a run with a dab of clear nail polish or a shot of hairspray.
