This year, we are honored to recognize a longtime Operation Santa Claus volunteer in a truly meaningful way. These beautiful bags were lovingly created and donated by Jamie Gruntorad in honor of her husband, Kenny. They are a perfect reflection of Kenny’s generous spirit, warm heart, and unwavering enthusiasm for giving to others.
Thank you, Jamie, for this incredible gift and for helping us carry Kenny’s legacy of kindness forward. 💙
