KELLOGG — Most pushes for presents for kids and families in need are relegated to November and December, but for Mountain View Congregational Church’s Operation Christmas Child offerings, it’s a yearlong culmination.
Linda Langer helps coordinate efforts from the church, which made up part of the 17,308 shoeboxes full of presents and necessities that were amassed by people in North Idaho.
“We collected 179 shoeboxes from our church this year. It was a really big one. We’ve never had to take two vehicles before, so we were very excited this year by the generosity, especially considering that everything has gone up in price,” Langer said.
