Sunbury’s Errel Gray has 1000 empty shoeboxes to fill, destined for disadvantaged children from some of the world’s poorest countries – but she needs help.
Operation Christmas Child is an international relief initiative of Samaritan’s Purse, which distributes boxes loaded with clothing, school supplies, toiletries, toys and accessories, to disadvantaged children.
Ms Gray says the drive during September and October has grown over the past 12 years she’s been involved.
“When I first started, we did about 200 boxes and now I’m filling 1000,” she said.
People can pick up an empty shoebox from Ms Gray from September 1.
