LCSS holds successful shoe packing party for Operation Christmas Child EMC News – Lanark County Support Services (LCSS) in Almonte is happy to report that they held a successful shoe packing party. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity from their friends, family and community, they were able to pack and ship 101 boxes to children in the developing world through Operation Christmas Child (OCC). They also raised over $700 for shipping. On Nov. 16, they had more than 70 people join them for its OCC packing party. We even had a couple of residents from the Almonte area stop in just to drop off supplies for the boxes. They had a fun-¿lled afternoon of music, laughs and cookies. Throughout the day they focused on the impact of this project by watching some very powerful Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child videos showing the boxes being delivered around the world. After this year’s successful project, everyone is already talking about what they can achieve next year. LCSS’ focus on ‘giving
back’ continues throughout the month of December. Look for LCSS participants and staff in the coming weeks at a special giftwrapping table set up in the Heritage Court Mall. As a community service, we will be offering giftwrapping to shoppers. Any monetary donations we receive for this service will be put directly towards angel tree gifts for children in need from our community.
