Processing Centre Location
The Processing Centre is situated on a farm at 2 Old Ballygowan Road, Comber, BT23 5NP. From Comber town square, head out along High Street (A21) for 0.3 miles, you will pass The Goose Coffee House and First Comber Presbyterian Church. Just before Thomas Andrews School, turn left onto Old Ballygowan Road. Continue for about 0.1 miles and look for a lane on your left. At the bottom of this lane, you’ll see a large white Operation Christmas Child sign. The Processing Centre is located at the end of this lane. If you have any questions, please contact Ruth 07811667620 or Darryl 07710087006.
