✨ Operation Christmas Stocking | 2025 Program Highlights ✨

This season, because of YOU, we were able to support 25 households and 43 students through Operation Christmas Stocking.

From collection jars and community partnerships to Amazon wishlist purchases, golf tournaments, 5Ks, and grant approvals — hundreds of people stepped up to help make Christmas magic happen while fighting food insecurity for local families.

In 2024, personal hygiene items and Christmas joy were provided to 38 area children — a reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose and compassion. ❤️

Thank you for standing with us, believing in this mission, and showing up in so many meaningful ways.

We hope your Christmas is merry, your hearts are full, and your 2026 is amazing.

Operation Deploy Santa is wrapping up the season, and we can’t wait to see our community come together for Christmas joy, kindness, and giving.

🏛️ Richlands City Hall

📅 Saturday, December 20th
⏰ 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM

For nearly 30 years, our local First Responders, community partners, and volunteers have helped bring hope and holiday cheer to families experiencing difficult times. Santa himself will be on site to visit with children, hand out gifts, and spread a little Christmas magic.

✨ No qualifying. No questions. Just joy.
If you’re able, we welcome toy donations to help us support even more families. If your family is facing tough times, please come—Santa is here for you.

Let’s make this Christmas season brighter together. ❤️

And none of this would’ve been possible without you.

🎄✨ Help Us Clear the Amazon Wish List by Wednesday! ✨🎄

Operation Christmas Stocking is in full swing, and we need your help to make sure every student we serve goes into winter break with full bellies, essential personal care items, and a little extra holiday magic. 💛

We’re asking our community to come together and clear the Amazon wish list by THIS WEDNESDAY. This deadline gives us enough time to purchase any remaining needs, pack everything with care, and deliver the packages before students are released on December 19.

💚 What is Operation Christmas Stocking?
It’s our annual initiative that provides food, hygiene products, and holiday joy to local students referred by school social workers. For many, these deliveries help bridge the gap during the long winter break when school resources aren’t available.

❤️ How You Can Help:
🛒 Shop the Amazon Wish List 🔗 https://a.co/eLgpkzg
🎁 Purchase needed gift items. We will gladly meet to pick up.
🚚 Share the link and invite friends to join in
✨ Every item — big or small — makes an impact

With your help, we can ensure every single stocking is filled and ready to bless a child in our community. Thank you for being part of this holiday miracle! 🎅🎁💖

Help us sprinkle a little extra love and comfort this holiday season!

Family 21 enjoys foods like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Frosted Flakes, pancakes and sausage corn dogs, fruit snacks, frosted strawberry Pop-Tarts, and potato chips — all items that help keep their pantry stocked and their days a little brighter.

Their Christmas wishes are simple but meaningful. The 15-, 13-, and 11-year-olds each have a PS5 and would love games or gamer gear to make their holiday extra special. The 9-year-old is hoping for remote control cars, and the 7-year-old would be thrilled to receive baby dolls.

Your generosity helps bring joy and magic to this family. Thank you for loving our neighbors so well! ❤️✨

This 5K has been a dream of mine for years — frozen toes during packet pick-up weren’t part of the vision 😅 — but seeing it come to life tomorrow fills my heart with joy.

Thank YOU for supporting our mission and helping make this fundraiser a reality.

❄️ We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow (and yes… a space heater is being added to next year’s planning list!).

Meet family 19: two girls, ages 10 and 6, who live with three adults. They enjoy Froot Loops, Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, Hot Pockets, Lunchables of any kind, and fruit cups.

Both girls are hoping for learning activities and arts-and-crafts supplies. The 6-year-old wears size 5/6 underwear and size 3 socks; the 10-year-old wears size 10/12 underwear and women’s size 7 socks.

Their family is facing a difficult time — their father recently went into heart failure and was the only source of income. They would deeply appreciate any support, including necessities like bug spray for water bugs and laundry detergent.

Operation Christmas Stocking provides food, personal-care items, and Christmas joy to local food-insecure students. 💛
