Description

Electro Industries, Inc.--Operation Christmas Child
As you prepare for the upcoming holiday season, take some time to reflect on the many blessings we each have. Every year many of us gather around a tree and joyously exchange gifts. That little blessing is not shared by all children throughout the world. Operation Christmas Child is the world’s largest Christmas Project. They have been partnering with churches since 1993 in bringing hope and smiles to children’s faces in over 150 countries presenting them with a shoebox of toys and basic necessities. In 2015, over 11 million children worldwide received a shoebox with over 11,000 originating from our local communities. Our goal this year is 13,000 shoeboxes, almost 20% above last year!
