Douglas County 4-H members,

Here is a community service opportunity. You can help children across the world by donating shoeboxes filled with gifts as part of the international Operation Christmas Child. Last year, 8 million children in 110 countries received gift boxes from generous donors.

Drop off locations for Douglas County the week of November 16-23:
  • Heritage Evangelical Free Church, 555 N. Heritage Ave., Castle Rock
  • Cherry Hills Community Church, 3900 Grace Blvd., Highlands Ranch
  • Pinecrest Community Church, 7165 N. Delbert Road, Parker

The website offers a way to follow your gift box and find out where it went. There are also other details such as packing instructions available on the website. Go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/.
