WINNSBORO – For many children in developing countries, there would be no soccer ball, no stuffed animal, no Christmas joy, without Operation Christmas Child that provides Christmas shoebox gifts for these children in poor countries around the world.
This year’s local Christmas Child workshop for Fairfield, Richland and Kershaw Counties was launched three months ago at the First Baptist Church in Winnsboro with volunteers representing several churches and denominations.
The church, a drop-off center for the filled boxes, located at 1373 Newberry Road, Winnsboro collected 1601 shoeboxes that will be sent to children around the world.
