NORTH BATTLEFORD — For the 20th consecutive year, Mona Bruynooghe has led a group of North Battleford residents travelling to Calgary to help children in need at the Operation Christmas Child processing centre.
Bruynooghe, 68, and her group from Territorial Drive Alliance Church spent Nov. 23 and 24 inspecting Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes before they were packed in cartons and transported to Central America, west Africa, the Philippines and Ukraine. There, they will be given to children who are living in the midst of poverty, war or natural disasters.
“I love the simplicity of Operation Christmas Child,” Bruynooghe said. “Some of these children have never received a gift before, so this is a great opportunity to show them God’s love.”
It’s not too late for North Battleford residents to help children in need. Just visit and pack Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes online.
