Ten Years of Christmas Box ministry

Each year since 2014 Olive Branch Ministries and CBF Field Personnel, Scarlette Jasper have collected Christmas boxes to brighten the season for children in some of America’s poorest counties. Last Christmas season over 3,000 Christmas boxes collected by dedicated volunteers and distributed throughout Appalachia by Scarlette.

Boxes went to Pineknot Elementary in McCreary Co, KY, East Bernstadt in Laural Co, KY, Oneida Elementary in Scott Co, TN, and beyond in south central KY and east TN to children, teens, seniors, and families. The boxes are distributed through the school systems’ family resource centers. The directors of these centers know the children and their families.

The principal of Pine Knot Elementary School shared that these boxes may be the only gift some kids will get for Christmas. They include needed items and fun items like: $10 gift cards, toiletries, gloves, hats, markers, toys, Legos, books, hair accessories for children, teens, seniors and families.
