Christian Community Credit Union's Staff Donates Toys and More Through Operation Christmas Child.

Christian Community Credit Union's staff participated in Operation Christmas Child, a program that brings joy, hope and God's love to boys and girls around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ. In all, the staff donated 68 shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, hygene items, clothing and more.
 

The Operation Christmas Child drive at the Credit Union ran from October 27 through November 19, 2010. To make it easy for saff to participate and create an early holiday spririt of giving, Christian Community Credit Union set up a drop-off station with a Christmas ambiance.

"The most important reason I participare in Operation Christmas Child is to show my son the importance of giving. He and I go to the store together and I let him choose everything that goes in the boxes. It gives him an appreciation for the things he takes for granted like a simple bar of soap or toothpaste and toothbrush." said Lauren Terrone, Christian Community Credit Union Staff.
