Employees of Six C Fabrications donated funds to fill Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. Each shoebox was packed with a “wow” toy, several entertaining items, personal care products and school supplies. Six C also provided trailers and workers to load and transport the shoeboxes to the central drop-off location in Natchitoches.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization that provides spiritual and physical aid to people in need around the world. The ministry delivers these gift-filled shoeboxes to children in Jesus’ name. The boxes are a tangible expression of God’s love as ministry partners share the good news of Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift.
