Our 2021 Family Adoption Registration
Amazing! We had requests for over 400 families before we kicked off OCS on Nov. 11th. This is twice the normal requests we receive that early, so we are playing catch up. Each family-donor pairing takes a minimum of 20 minutes, so you can imagine how hard our volunteers are working. They are working around the clock to honor all requests made.
* If you have already signed up for a family, please rest assured your wish list is coming, although it may arrive in your inbox later than we originally anticipated due to the volume of requests. We are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization-- thank you for your patience.
All of our family wish lists are now spoken for but there are other ways to help:
...................sign up to host a gift card drive here..................or...................sign up to collect toys for us here.......................or................pledge single service member gifts here and get started right away!
Operation Christmas Spirit, going 18 years strong, is comprised of family "adoptions," single service member gifts, unit Christmas party support, volunteer opportunities, and toy collections for children of service members. Hands down, the focus and most important piece of this project is our family "adoption" program. Families are vetted through unit nominations and/or applications for Christmas assistance. Once a family is approved for the program, they fill out a family wish list. These wish lists are shared only with the donor(s) we pair them with to make their Christmas wishes come true.
