Residents across the Rainy River district are being asked once again to collect items for children in under-developed countries.
Local coordinator Della McQuaker says Operation Christmas Child is now underway.
"Operation Christmas Child is where we have the opportunity to fill up shoe boxes or any other type of box or pack sacks," says McQuaker, "with gifts, toys, hygiene products, school items that we can give to children aboard that are being serviced through Samaritan's Purse."
Boxes can now be picked up at Bethel Bapist Church, Northland Basics and The Bargain Store in Fort Frances, Tompkins Hardware and Calvary Baptist Church in Emo and Trinity Lutheran in Bergland.
The box must be returned during the week of November 14.
