Operation Christmas Child Thank You
Dear Daniel Island community, On behalf of the Charleston Area Operation Christmas Child volunteers, thank you for your support of the recent shoebox packing party held at Holy Cross Daniel Island. Our goal was 500 shoeboxes, and we packed 526! Many of you donated filler items, and many of you came out on Saturday, November 21. It took us less than two hours to accomplish such a big task. Our apologies if you showed up to pack shoeboxes after 11:45. So many people came out to support the effort, we were done in no time. Special thanks to Holy Cross Church, Desi Runey and the Bishop England National Honor Society, Brielle Kociolek and the Daniel Island School Junior Beta Club, Sheila Underwood of SunTrust Bank, Beth Bush and Sue Detar of The Daniel Island News, Pam Thesing, Lynn Cobb, Lee LoPriore, Jenny Hartzog, Cheryl Jansen and so many others who helped make the packing party possible. Because of all of you, 526 children around the world will receive a shoebox gift – and with it the gift of the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Let’s do it again next year! Merry Christmas! Jennifer Roberts, Charleston Area Coordinator, Operation Christmas Child
