                "description": "God planted the seeds for the Operation Christmas Child San Gabriel Valley Area Team back in 2006 when the opportunity to serve the Lord using a local Grief Ministry began as a Community Relations team. In 2010, the brand new San Gabriel Valley Area Team began with eight volunteers, many from the same Grief Ministry, many of who are still on the team today. Together, along with our partners, we have been able to impact the lives of children around the world for Christ!  With the Lord blessing this team, our impact has been showing substantial growth every year."
