Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Operation Christmas Child in the area is finishing after a year of planning. Organizer Roger Gillming said the goal for the area, including Kimball, Bridgeport, Mitchell, Alliance, and Chadron, was 3,000 boxes filled with items for children around the world. He estimated they would have 37 more than that. Kimball, Bridgeport, Sidney, and Mitchell's total was 1,600 boxes. From Kimball, FFA members loaded the boxes on a truck to Denver, where they will be processed to go all over the world. Gillming said most of the boxes from this area will be distributed to Central and South America.
