Good Samaritan Foundation representatives and local volunteers gathered at the Congregational Church fellowship hall, filling 475 shoeboxes for the Operation Christmas Child program. The team, which included Deborah and Marty Dillion with Don Lawley, completed their work in just two hours on Saturday morning. These shoeboxes, packed with care and Christmas joy, will bring smiles to children around the world. Photo Deborah Dillon
