| Operation Santa Claus |
|
The County of Orange Operation Santa Claus Program is hosting its summer online donation drive from July 17th through the 28th.
Operation Santa Claus provides gifts and toys to children in foster care, group homes, and needy children in transitional housing who are abused, neglected, physically or mentally challenged, or homeless in Orange County. Disadvantaged families and at risk youth also benefit.
This program distributes over 45,000 gifts and receives assistance with toy collection through a collaborative effort of County of Orange employees, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Orange County Firefighters’ Spark of Love, and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots. Churches, businesses and schools in the community also play an important role in the success of collecting toys.
If you would like to make a donation or want more information on the program, send an email to operationsantaclaus@ssa.ocgov.com or call (714) 679-2438. |
