On behalf of the Highland County Homeless Shelter, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you who contributed to Operation Christmas Child. 

This year we packed 200 shoeboxes. Your generosity has brought hope, joy and comfort to our residents during this holiday season. 

Because of your kindness, our shelter received the gift of prayer and reminders that they are not forgotten. These simple acts of compassion make a profound difference, turning a difficult season into one filled with warmth and love. 

Your support not only brightens Christmas but also strengthens our mission to provide safety, dignity and care for those experiencing homelessness in Highland County. 

We are deeply thankful to our donors, Melissa Hedrick, Kim Banks (RiverHills Bank) and Rhonda Moore (Operation Christmas Child), and the clients of the shelter for the spirit of giving that continues to inspire us all.
