Operation Christmas Child is once again accepting gift boxes for distribution in countries such as South and Central America and Africa.
The program is run by Samaritan's Purse, a Christian charitable organization, and boxes are typically filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items.
In the Tri-Cities, members of the public can drop off the boxes at Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship, 1160 Lansdowne Drive, Coquitlam and the last day for drop-off is Sunday, Nov. 15.
