Area churches send gifts for Christmas

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - It may not be Thanksgiving yet, but several area churches are thinking of Christmas.

Several churches in Greater Lafayette are partnering with the organization Samaritans' Purse for Operation Christmas Child.

The goal is to pack shoe boxes with things such as pens, pencils and even soap to send to children in need around the world.

"It's just nice to give, that's what it means to me," volunteer with Operation Christmas Child Debbie Remaly said. "Because it's and about showing love and caring for other people and putting somebody before myself."
