HAYDEN — Operation Christmas Child in North Idaho is holding a workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Anthem Church in Hayden.
The free event is open to anyone wanting to learn more about the ministry or how to get involved. Refreshments will be served.
The workshop focuses on in-person training to equip leaders with resources, as well as provide an opportunity to build local relationships.
"Come learn more about how to effectively carry out the role of sending the gospel to the ends of the earth through gift-filled shoeboxes," said a press release.
In the past eight years, North Idaho has collected more than 75,000 shoeboxes for OCC, with volunteers helping year-round.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of the international Christian relief organization Samaritan’s Purse. Since 1993, OCC has collected and delivered more than 209 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 170 countries and territories.
