Vital People: Volunteers pack shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child

Volunteers on our Island are busy packing shoe boxes for ‘Operation Christmas Child,’ an annual initiative that has helped more than 220 million children around the world.

The aim is to help every child in the world feel seen, loved, and valued. National collection week is November 18 to 24, and North Douglas Church in Saanich is one of the 300 drop-off locations in Canada.
