Operation HOPE-North County Heartfelt Thanks to Our Incredible Community

As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with gratitude for the overwhelming support we have received from all of you. Your generous donations of toys, shelter supplies, gift cards, meals, blankets, pajamas, thoughtful gifts, volunteer hours and countless smiles have truly made a difference in the lives of our clients and alumni families.

We are thrilled to share that we had the privilege of seeing over 40 alumni families attend our Santa Gift Shop to select gifts for their children, along with 12 current family clients and recent alumni graduates who received personalized gifts for their families.

Additionally, over 30 generous donors stepped up to sponsor alumni families, providing joy and comfort during this special season. Special thank you to the groups who came in and planned special activities for our families including a Santa Gift Shop hosted by Mariner’s Church and a fun night of crafts and games by Henry Schein!

We were also fortunate to receive various financial contributions which play an invaluable and crucial role in our success, allowing us to continue serving those in need.
