The Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) members at the KY-Tech Clinton County Area Technology Center along with their instructor Billie Frye, RN collected items for donation for Operation Christmas Child which is a project of Samaritan’s Purse.

The items for donation brought in by the students included: school supplies, personal hygiene items, candy, and toys. The students collected enough supplies to fill twenty-six Operation Christmas Child boxes.

The boxes are sent to needy children all over the world. A special thanks goes out to all the students and their families who took the time to purchase and prepare the items, as well as Cave Springs Baptist Church which took the donated boxes to the appropriate location.
