- Operation Christmas Child, a program of Samaritan’s Purse, has delivered over 61 million shoe boxes filled with gifts since 1993.
- Caddell Communication has participated for four consecutive years.
DURHAM, NC . . . Caddell Communications continued a four-year tradition of supporting Operation Christmas Child by temporarily closing their office in order to shop for and fill shoe boxes with new toys, toiletries and candy. The Operation Christmas Child program brings Christmas to millions of children around the world through distributing donated shoe boxes filled with gifts for girls and boys ages 2-14. “Our office was a frenzy of activity on Friday as we packed our shoe boxes,” says Susan Caddell, president and owner of Caddell Communications. “We put rubber bands around the boxes to keep everything in place, but several of them broke because the boxes were overflowing – what a great problem to have. We enjoyed shopping and could easily picture a child opening each box with joy!”
The Caddell Communications team donated one box to each age and gender category in the program for a total of six shoe boxes. Since 2005 Caddell Communications has donated nearly thirty filled shoe boxes to the cause.
Operation Christmas Child is just one of many programs conducted by Samaritan’s Purse, an International relief organization that provides spiritual and physical aid to victims of war, poverty, natural disaster, and disease.
“Packing a shoe box is such a simple way to give. We look forward to doing this each year as a team,” said Caddell.
