THOUSANDS of shoeboxes full of presents for children in Romania will be sent off this weekend.
Cllr Tom Farmer, the Mayor of Horwich, will wave off the gifts from Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park on Saturday at 11am.
Operation Christmas Child has operated in the Bolton area for several years, collecting shoebox gifts for less fortunate children overseas.
