 The journey begins for thousands of shoe boxes filled with toys and personal care items that have been collected for Operation Christmas Child. This year, record number of shoe boxes were filled and dropped off at the evangelical free church in Bemidji. The boxes were packed together, then loaded into a large storage trailer. Over 3,100 boxes were collected, but the impact reaches far beyond those who receive a box. One box can impact up to 10 people because the child that received it will share it with his parents and share it with his siblings and share it with his cousins and his neighbors. Before you know it, an average of 10 people have been affected by this shoe box. So it's not just one on one that we're doing, we're doing one on 10 probably. The storage trailer was picked up this afternoon and made a stop in Baxter where all the boxes were then loaded onto a semi and delivered to a large facility in the Twin Cities. From there, they'll be shipped around the world.
