William Waters, of Cross View Baptist Church, helps organize a truck being packed by North Heights Junior High students on Tuesday during the first day of Operation Christmas Child's Collection Week. Donations are being taken from now until Nov. 23. The boxes will be delivered to children in need in more than 100 countries and are filled with hygiene items, toys, and school supplies. Drop-off times for locations in the Texarkana area can be found at samaritanspurse.org/occ.
