This past week I met the Rucci Family, but in particular Emma and her mother Mary. I was so impressed with them as they told me of Samaritan's Purse that within minutes I agreed to volunteer my time and efforts. The family themselves personally packed 89 boxes last year and are determined to do more this year.
Straight from their website, "Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. Since 1993, more than 61 million shoe boxes have been packed, shipped, and delivered across the globe. People of all ages can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas." They collect donations throughout the year and will have a National Collection Week during November 16th to the 23rd. Collecting school supplies, toiletries and toys. Just a fair warning to all my friends out there I will be calling.
Emma and Mary Rucci are making a difference in the world, what are you gonna do?
