Thank you to everyone who made a donation to this year’s Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child blesses children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts. Boxes are collected and distributed in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.   

In past year’s we have asked for donations of items, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year we asked for donations to cover the postage costs and the College bought the items to fill the boxes. Thank you to the BalCC Staff who donated their time to pack the boxes. We were able to make up one hundred boxes.

Operation Christmas Child is an initiative of Samartian’s Purse, an International relief organisation who are involved in distributing boxes of Christmas gifts and the Gospel message to underprivileged children overseas.
