Operation Christmas Child
Guest User
The purpose of this project was to bring Christmas cheer and joy through thoughtful gifts, cards, ornaments, and other items.
On Friday, December 11th, the Croatan High School Key Club made Christmas Cards and Ornaments for 8 local nursing homes in the Carteret-Onslow County area. Throughout the months of October and November, the Croatan High School Key Club has been in contact with these local nursing homes, sending them letters, works of art, and music videos. They loved what was sent, with some Key Club Members becoming pen pals. Since the correspondence got a great reception, they decided to bring them some holiday cheer! They made 90-100 cards, decorated them, and filled them with artwork and heartwarming messages. They also made and decorated 45 ornaments to send as well. They further packed 5 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is a ministry outreach program that searches to bring children who wouldn't normally receive gifts hope and joy. Shoeboxes are filled with many different items, including small toys, school supplies, personal hygiene, and crafts. Through this program, over 100 million shoeboxes get shipped every year to over 100 countries.
This group of individuals from Croatan High School’s Key Club would like to extend a big thank you to its members and advisors, Mrs. Dorgan and Ms. Brinegar!
