August 19

Our guest speaker for August is Sylvia Anderson. She is the Northeast Georgia Area Coordinator for Operation Christmas Child (OCC).

She and her family have been packing shoeboxes for the last 30 years. She also teaches children with learning disabilities to read. Sylvia and her husband have 5 grown children.

Last year people in Northeast Georgia packed 20,000 OCC shoeboxes and the goal for 2025 is 25,000.

OCC is a division of Samaritan’s Purse, which sends gift filled shoeboxes to bring hope, joy and love to children in need around the world. Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine.
