Operation Christmas Child participant received box as child
Students from the Baptist Fellowship of Randolph work with Menig Extended Care Facility nursing home residents to create boxes of gifts for needy children around the world through Operation Christmas Child. Through donations from Menig residents and staff as well as businesses, the group was able to make 100 boxes. Among the participants was Luke Sweet, who received an Operation Christmas Child box as an orphan in the Ukraine. Here Sweet, now the adopted son of Pastor George and Gina Sweet of Randolph Center, is pictured with 99-year-old resident Della Allen.
The Baptist Fellowship continues to collect shoeboxes filled with small toys, school supplies and hygiene items through Monday, Nov. 19. For more information on what to include in your box and drop off times, contact the church.
