To help children in need all over the world have a Christmas to remember, staff at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire came together to pack shoeboxes full of toys and necessities as part of the Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child campaign.
The project sees shoeboxes filled with toys, hygiene items and school supplies, which are then delivered all over the world to give many children their first ever gift.
The leading homebuilder packed more than 20 boxes for both boys and girls aged two to four, five to nine or 10 to 14.
Daniel Evans, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire, said: “Our head office staff really took to the idea of being involved in Operation Christmas Child and packed their shoeboxes with lots of fantastic gifts.
“We are very proud of this amazing gesture from our head office staff. As a leading homebuilder, it is important to us that we support the local community, and we thank the team for thinking of others.”
Since 1990, more than 186 million children in over 160 countries have received shoebox gifts through Operation Christmas Child.
