SHADY SPRING, WV (WVNS) -- Samaritan's Purse has put out their map for Operation Christmas Child drop off locations.

Shady Spring First Baptist Church is one of the churches chosen to collect the shoebox that people pack full of gifts to send to children across the world who need them.

Michele Carter is the Drop Off Coordinator for the church and has some suggestions for gifts to pack into the boxes.

"Pencils, pencil sharpeners, crayons, notebooks, coloring books, and then toys. They ask us to make it fun, fill it up, and personalize it, so that when these kids get these boxes and they open it up, the joy. Some of them have never received a present before," said Carter.

Carter also recommends hygiene items like wash cloths, toothbrushes, and combs or hairbrushes.
