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.
