(This story has been updated.) An Amish homeowner's residence and two businesses were destroyed Nov. 11 in a fast-moving fire that broke out that morning along the 200 block of Coke Oven Road in Summit Township, according to Mike Miller, chief of the Meyersdale Volunteer Fire Department.

Volunteers around Somerset County are preparing to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts during National Collection Week, Nov. 16–23. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has partnered with local churches across the globe to collect and deliver gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need including many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that collects shoeboxes filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items, and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love tangibly, said Mindy Singo, local area coordinator who leads the Operation Christmas Child project across Somerset County, in an email. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received, she said. “Shoebox gifts may seem simple, but they have an eternal impact.
