Operation Compassion Partners with Youth & Christian Education Department on Great American Toy Caper in Houston
Operation Compassion partnered with John Childers, International Director of Youth and CE and Steve Darnell, Texas Director of Youth and CE in providing a semi load of toys, stocking stuffers and snacks for the children of Houston.
Over 3,000 children attended the well-organized party hosted by Pastor Roy Love and the Gulf Meadows Church of God.
One mother was without transportation so she brought kids in a taxicab. When the cab pulled away at the end of the day it was loaded down with toys and happy, clapping children.
The Great American Toy Caper distributed over $500,000 in gifts, including Disney toys, cartoon videos, beanie babies and blow-up toys. In addition, the children enjoyed candy, cookies, chips and drinks.
