Charities
As adults, all of us have heard the little saying, “There is a little kid in all of us.” Our office mission is to impact the lives of children in this community and throughout the world. Operation Christmas Child and Operation Smile are two charitable organizations that garner our financial support. We encourage you to team with us in changing the world, “One child at a time!”
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. Since 1993, more than 61 million shoe boxes have been packed, shipped, and delivered across the globe. People of all ages can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ. National Collection Week is November 17-24. www.samaritanspurse.org
Operation Smile
As you may already know, Operation Smile is a worldwide children's medical charity whose network of global volunteers are dedicated to helping improve the health and lives of children and young adults. Since 1982, Operation Smile has treated more than 115,000 children born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. In addition to contributing free medical treatment, Operation Smile trains local medical professionals in its 26 partner countries and leaves behind crucial equipment to lay the groundwork for long-term self-sufficiency.
