A very special thank you goes out to Becky Oehlke who spearheaded this project and did a phenomenal job from beginning to end. Thank you to everyone that filled a box, donated cash to purchase items to go in the boxes and to those who helped pay for the shipping of the boxes. So many kids will have a blessed Christmas because of you!
