Shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child must be dropped off this week.

The gift filled boxes end up with needy children around the world.

Karen Fraser is the shoe box coordinator for the Boissevain Area.

She points out it isn't too late to participate.

Fraser says 600 boxes were picked up by people in the Boissevain area.

She says the boxes need to be returned so they can be packed and sent to Brandon on Thursday, November 19th.
