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.

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

$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.

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.

mas Child, including guide-
