The Christmas Experience

Operation Hope is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing Christmas joy to local families facing hardships. We host a special holiday event featuring Santa, food, and festive fun, where families come together to celebrate the season and pick up their gifts. Attendance at the event is required in order to receive your child’s presents, as this ensures every family can share in the full Christmas experience Operation Hope is proud to create.

Gifts

Help brighten a child's holiday by putting new toys, clothes, or shoes under the tree of a local family this year.

Christmas Trees

Many families do not have the means to get a Christmas tree. Help spread some Christmas cheer by donating funds for a tree.

Decorations

Make the holiday merry and bright with a donation toward Christmas decorations and ornaments for a local family in need
