Volunteers in Oconto County are getting together to provide supplies to those in need around the world.
The Samaritan’s Purse organization is running the Operation Christmas Child project, where volunteers put together shoe boxes full of hygiene items, school supplies, toys and clothes.
“A lot of kids never owned things like these,” said Elaine Newlin, a volunteer with the Appleton Alliance Church in Appleton. “Kids can’t go to school or do other things that we take for granted.”
Newlin said that this international project began in 1993.
