FCA participates in Operation Christmas Child


Written By: Uriah Myrick (WCHS Senior)

FCA (Fellowships of Christian Athletes) participated in Operation Christmas Child (OCC) nov.16-23 at Warren Baptist Church in Augusta, Ga... The drive is sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse.

People who participate fill a shoe box with gifts like toys, school supplies, hygiene items, candy, and anything else their heart leads them to give. Some families may enclose a note to the child and a photo. Also, the family also sends a donation to cover shipping costs.

Coach Blount, Coach Moon, and Coach Shirey took about 30 members of the WCHS chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes to Warren Baptist Church Thursday, Nov. 19 around 9:00 in the morning. They quickly got started working after they heard the instructions. Everyone lent a helping hand when it came to unloading boxes, making shoe boxes, and packing shipping boxes. Warren County students loaded about two or three trucks throughout the day.

The shoe boxes travel to different countries year to year all over the world.
