Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, is seeking donations for needy children around the world. Be a part of this ministry by packing a shoebox. Suggested items to be placed in a shoebox include school supplies, non-liquid hygiene items, hard candies and a small toy. In 2010, more than 8 million boxes were collected worldwide, and they were distributed in more than 90 different countries. Please call Judy P. Ward at (229) 246-2518 or visit J & J Antiques, 1204 Dothan Road in Bainbridge, for more information. Collection week is Nov. 14 through Nov. 18.
