The Landmark Christmas Shoebox store is open.

Spokesperson Karlee Peters says the first couple years the store was open her mom used money from her personal bank account to pay for the store supplies.

"And then hoping it would work out in the end, at the end of the year," laughs Peters. "As we got larger we had to branch out, so we've been blessed by the Niverville Credit Union. They have really helped us out with that, giving us a credit so we can buy the things and then we, obviously, get it back in there."

Peters says they keep up with what is and is not allowed in the shoeboxes and have available only acceptable items.

The Landmark Christmas Shoebox store, located in the Landmark Christian Fellowship Church, is open Tuesday 3:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. and Saturday 10:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. until November 19.
