Cathy;
Original, I was going to send my items to you, but I found a location, outside of Baltimore, that collects for Christmas Child!

Wow, wonderful to hear about all the caring and sharing that is going on this month.
Next Saturday my church is having a filling boxes party for the Operation Christmas Child project. We will pack all the miscellaneous things folks did not pack in boxes and prepare it for the child of a particular age group. Then we will be receiving many boxes from churches and individuals from around the northern Ohio area  and will be delivering these boxes to a major collection center. From there, the boxes are shipped directly to countries with children who need them. These boxes are delivered by plane, train, truck, car, and even camels. I learned about the camels in a vedio they showed at church. 

May God bless you.
