Every year DayNight Pharmacy has the opportunity to participate in "Operation Christmas Child" ! We are fortunate to have friends within DayNight who get involved and send off a small gift. These gifts bring heartfelt joy and smiles to children who are need. What is Operation Christmas Child? It brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes. These boxes contain small gifts of toys, school supplies and items specially picked by individuals wanting to make a difference. This program is a project of Samaritan's Purse, which is a nondenominational Christian organization providing aid to hurting people all around the world. Since 1970 Samaritan's Purse has helped meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease and famine. Samaritan's Purse currently is serving more than 100 countries. Operation Christmas Child is a way for Canadians to share the joy of Christmas with children living in countries that have been ravaged by war, famine, natural disasters and extreme poverty. We are overjoyed that we can have such an impact on a child.
