Help make sure children around the world have something to unwrap this holiday season.

Hundreds of volunteers in our area are joining forces to make sure children living in extreme poverty have a Merry Christmas. Volunteers are collecting and asking for additional donations of toys, school supplies and personal care items including toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap.

The donated shoe boxes will be distributed to needy children in 100 countries worldwide.

You can drop off donations at any of the following collection sites in Charleston for Operation Christmas Child:
