One of the groups that the Pizza Ranch in Clinton, IA has often hosted for Community Impact Nights is Operation Christmas Child at Grace Community Church. Members of this team are preparing for Christmas all year round! They also volunteer at a processing center near Chicago and help prepare the boxes to be shipped. This group will also help pack shoeboxes at an Operation Christmas Child processing center amongst a team of many others from various other regions. These shoeboxes are packed full of Christmas gifts for children from ages toddler to teen and are sent all over the world!
