Felida resident brings shoeboxes of goodies to Tanzania

Felida — Carrie Campbell of Felida visited Tanzania with Samaritan’s Purse, an organization that looks to provide spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Campbell was in Tanzania for five days in late May to distribute Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, which were filled with school supplies, a stuffed animal, toys, soap, a washcloth and a toothbrush. She also heads up the annual packing party at Felida Baptist Church, this year taking place on Nov. 14, where church members pack items they collect throughout the year to be shipped off as part of Operation Christmas Child.
