SUMMARY: Churches along the Gulf Coast are participating in Operation Christmas Child, a project by Samaritan’s Purse that collects shoebox gifts for children who may not receive Christmas presents. Volunteers, often called “Santa’s elves,” work year-round collecting supplies for these boxes, which include toys, school supplies, and hygiene items. Bay View Church’s Jenny Russum emphasizes creating specific boxes for different age groups and genders. The initiative not only provides gifts but also includes spiritual resources and teachings. Many of the children receiving these boxes have never received a gift before. Details on involvement can be found at samaritanspurse.org.

Churches across the Coast are getting into the spirit of the season through Operation Christmas Child.

SUMMARY: The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies is rehabilitating 23 endangered Kim Ridley sea turtles that suffered from cold stunning after being trapped in frigid waters in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Mississippi State University veterinary students are assisting in the recovery process by conducting initial examinations, blood work, and monitoring the turtles’ health. Cold-stunned turtles often experience pneumonia and frostbite, requiring personalized treatment plans, including fluids and antibiotics. The students gain invaluable experience that will aid their future careers while fostering a commitment to environmental conservation. Once rehabilitated, the turtles will be released back into Mississippi Sound.

A group of Mississippi State University veterinarians were in Gulfport on a mission to save the sea turtle habitat.

SUMMARY: A chemical manufacturing company, PCC Group, is investing over half a billion dollars to build a chlorine production plant in Harrison County, Mississippi. This project, in collaboration with Kmore Titanium Technology, will establish a facility with a capacity of 340,000 tons of chlorine annually. The initiative aims to supply chlorine primarily for Kmore’s operations while expanding PCC’s footprint in the U.S. market, which is viewed as more stable compared to Europe and Asia. Groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2026, with expectations to operationalize the plant by 2028, creating numerous jobs in the region.
