Manitoba Donates 48404 Shoe Boxes for Christmas Child
Manitoba residents donated 48404 shoe box gifts to needy children in 2007 as part of Operation Christmas Child. National total reached 661530 boxes across Canada with several countries set to receive boxes in the coming weeks. The national total was about 10 percent below 2006 as early deadlines shortened processing time. Greg Johnson, director of Operation Christmas Child Canada, said Canadians will have more time to pack boxes in 2008 and processing will be streamlined.
