Gloucestershire asked to help reach Christmas shoebox target
Gloucestershire residents are being urged to help Operation Christmas Child reach targets of 100 million shoeboxes.
Shoe Zone and Stead & Simpson will be helping the charity event reach the goal by acting as drop off points for the shoeboxes, which are filled with Christmas gifts for children in need.
Over the past 22 years, the Samaritan's Purse charitable project has seen 94 million shoeboxes to more than 100 different countries.
Owner of the shoe stores, Charles Smith, said: "Each year over the past four years we've helped collect at least 40,000 shoeboxes at our outlets across the country.

“Good luck - pity the charity does not distribute free contraceptives or help people appreciate value of not multiplying under conditions where food and shelter are short. And why the great giving only at Christmas? How do they stay alive rest of the year?”
