The generosity of folks in the Treasure Valley is helping kids from around the world this holiday season, as part of Operation Christmas Child.

Each year, the project provides shoeboxes filled with gifts to children suffering from war, poverty, disease, and natural disasters. 

This year, coordinators collected 16,250 boxes filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items.
