NEWS/RECORDS A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018 Shoebox project spreads gifts and love Donations sought for charity boxes from Nov. 12-19 By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Most kids in the United Sates wouldn’t be very excited if they opened a Christmas present and found a toothbrush. However, children in countries beset with war, poverty, natural disaster, famine or disease are often thrilled when they receive such gifts through Operation Christmas Child. A ministry of the inter- national relief organization Samaritan’s Purse, each hol- iday season people fill shoe- boxes with personal hygiene items, toys, clothing, school supplies and more. The gifts are distributed to needy chil- dren across the globe. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY BARB WATTENBURGER Employees of O So Kleen in Hermiston pack shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. National Collection Week for the project that sends gifts to needy children across the globe is Nov. 12-19 Barb Wattenburger, the area drop-off location team leader, has heard stories about kids having to share personal hygiene items in orphanages in third world countries. Something as basic as a toothbrush, she Sentences sion, plus court costs and fees. $9,470.79. PENDLETON — The following sentences have been imposed in Umatilla County courts: •Samuel Armando Carrillo, 20, Hermiston, pleaded guilty to DUII: sentenced to 1 year pro- bation, $490 fine and enroll- ment into Diversion Program. •Credits Inc. vs. Ashley and William McAdams of Umatil- la: seeks $1,369.18. said, can bring a smile to the face of a child. “They received a box and it included toothbrushes. The kids were just ecstatic because they had their own toothbrush,” Wattenburger said. “You can’t even under- stand that in this country.” As National Collec- tion Week approaches, area churches, businesses, ser- vice clubs and individu- als have been busy gath- ering items and packing shoeboxes. Dave and Doro- thy Smith, owners of O So Kleen in Hermiston, have turned the project into an employee team-building activity. While involvement isn’t mandatory, Dave Smith said all of his employees partici- pate. This past week, the O So Kleen team got together for breakfast and packed boxes. “We had an hour of food, fun and fellowship before we went to work for the day,” Smith said. Wattenburger said her interest in the project is cen- tered around reaching out to children — to let them know they are loved. It opens the door to share about Jesus Christ, she said. “A gift is a tangible way that shows that we love them and that God loves them,” Wattenburger said. “There are people in the community that follow up with the kids. They aren’t just throwing a box at them and driving up to the next place.” After gifts are distrib- uted, local ministry partners in many of the countries invite the children to enroll in “The Greatest Journey,” a 12-lesson discipleship pro- gram. The idea is to estab- lish longterm relationships with the children and their families. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has deliv- ered 157 million shoe- box gifts to children in 160 countries. This year’s goal is to reach another 11 million kids, said Cassie Roberts, a media relations associate with Samaritan’s Purse. In 2017, Wattenburger said 1,871 boxes were col- lected in the Hermiston area. The local drop-off site for collection week is New Hope Community Church, 1350 S. Highway 395, Hermiston. The dates and times are: Nov. 12-17, 19 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Nov. 13, 15 from 5-7 p.m. and Nov. 18 from noon to 2 p.m. A donation of $9 is requested to offset shipping costs. Wattenburger said money is available if people can’t afford that.
