Operation Christmas Child Participants Receive FREE Sandwich at Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook

Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook has joined the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, “Operation Christmas Child”. Through Operation Christmas Child, kids, families and groups create gifts that can make a significant difference in the lives of hurting children around the world.

Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, has collected and delivered more than 113 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children and hope to reach another ten million in 2014.

Individuals, families and groups are encouraged to drop off shoeboxes filled with gifts of toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement on Tuesday, November 18th between 5-9 p.m. Participants will receive a FREE Chick-fil-A sandwich for each box donated.

“We are honored to join this amazing project and be able to launch the holiday season by collecting gifts for Operation Christmas Child”, said Mike Wagner, owner/operator of the Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook. “We are looking forward to rewarding our community for participating on November 18th and with enough notice will be able to order a large truck to park in our lot for the collection efforts”, Wagner added.

Participants should decide whether their gift will be for boy or girl, age category: 2-4, 5-9, 10-14 and mark the box accordingly. Boxes do not have to be wrapped, but if desired, the box and lid should be wrapped separately.

Large groups and organizations should contact Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook with information about their participation at 630-771-0800.

Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook is located at 245 N. Weber Road, near the intersections of Weber and Boughton Roads. For more information, events and updates, visit the website www.cfabolingbrook.com or follow them/”like” them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CFABolingbrook.
