DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — The Dothan High School softball team will step into a different kind of teamwork next week as they volunteer at Heritage Baptist Church to support Operation Christmas Child, a global outreach project organized by Samaritan’s Purse.
The student-athletes will spend about five hours helping load roughly 30,000 shoeboxes prepared for children and families in need around the world. Each box contains items such as toys, school supplies, and hygiene products, all donated to bring support and encouragement during the holiday season.
Heritage Baptist Church serves as a collection site for the effort, and the Dothan High players will assist with moving and loading the large volume of boxes as they are prepared for shipment to international distribution centers.
