Operation Christmas Child Malibu has announced its drop-off locations for the upcoming National Collection Week, Nov. 14-21.
The nonprofit asks for local residents to donate shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, notes of encouragement and hygiene items to collection sites. Volunteers plan to transform more than 60,000 empty shoeboxes into gifts to be given to children fighting poverty and natural disasters across the world.
A nearby drop-off location is at Gateway Church in Agoura Hills, at 29646 Agoura Road. There is also a drop-off location at Palisades Lutheran Church, 15905 W. Sunset Boulevard, Pacific Palisades.
