This program will be called Operation Christmas Angel.
Each recipient will receive 8 gifts; a sweatshirt, a pair of pajama pants, slippers, a $25 gift card, a $15 fast food gift card, a $25 food gift card, a $5 Five Below gift card and a game or item of their choice.
The gifts need to be returned no later than Sunday, December 7th to Nardin Park. Please return gifts unwrapped and clearly labeled with the Angel number on the items.
Thank you Nardin Park for your generosity in making Christmas a little brighter for these youth! If you would like to participate but not available to shop, we can do that for you! Monetary donations can be given to Laura Olson or Sue Ward.
Please contact Laura Olson with questions.
