Bringing Hope and Joy | Liberty HealthShare and Operation Christmas Child

As in years past, Liberty HealthShare has taken part in supporting Operation Christmas Child, a charitable initiative by Samaritan’s Purse. With the goal of providing boys and girls around the world with “what may be their first gift ever,” this yearly event packs shoeboxes for children in need and provides them with not only gifts, but the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“The Liberty HealthShare community is founded on a principal of self-sacrificial giving, a core tenant of the Gospel,” said Wes Humble, Liberty HealthShare executive director of ministry, community relations, and events. “It is a true joy to live this mission out each year by packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.”

While employees of the ministry have supported this initiative for years, buying gifts and working together to bring smiles to children all over the globe, this was the first time that Liberty HealthShare members have joined them. Through online donations and support, Liberty HealthShare members affirmed their commitment to selflessly uplifting others by contributing to the 54 shoeboxes packed online. In addition to the boxes packed in person at the Liberty HealthShare center of operations in Canton, Ohio, there were a total of 96 shoeboxes, full of gifts and the hope of the Gospel, packed this year.

“Employees from across the ministry support this initiative with their donations, but Sheila Clark-Williams and her team always go above and beyond,” said Humble. “Their commitment to doing all they can each Christmas season for children in need around the world is a testament to their love of Christ and commitment to service.”

From all of us at Liberty HealthShare to each employee and member who supported Operation Christmas Child this year with their time, donations, and prayers—thank you. The love of Christ is strong in all that we do, and Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful way we can walk together!
