Operation Christmas Child
Thank you, Pagosa. Our little mountain town will give hope to 1,985 children around the world through Operation Christmas Child. Your generosity and boxes of joy will put smiles on little faces this Christmas.
Collection Week looked a little different this year due to coronavirus, with safety as a top priority. We ran a drive-thru, complete with masks, gloves, QR code and volunteers unloading boxes so donors didn’t have to leave their vehicles. It proved to be both safe and successful for everyone in a tough season.
A big thank you goes to several business owners that had displays for customers to pick up shoe boxes for packing. They brought in hundreds of gifts to the outside drive-thru at Crossroad Christian Fellowship. This year, three generous youth groups filled boxes for kids. They were Wolf Creek Wonders and Rocky Mountain Riders from 4-H, and our high school Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club.
