(FAITHWIRE) – Atheist activists with the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are celebrating “victory” for purportedly stopping a Texas school from participating in Operation Christmas Child, an annual charity created by Christian relief agency Samaritan’s Purse.
As Faithwire previously reported, the FFRF, an organization based in Madison, Wisconsin, published a statement on October 21, noting that a “concerned district community member” reached out to complain that North Short Elementary School, a public school in the Galena Park Independent School District, recently took part in an Operation Christmas Child fundraiser.
Operation Christmas Child is an effort that encourages people to pack shoeboxes each year that include toys, gifts, school supplies, personal care items and the gospel message for children around the globe.
