There are 23 days left until Operation Santa which will provide toys under the tree for more than 5,000 poverty-stricken children on Christmas morning.

This is only made possible because of each one of YOU and your desire to make a difference in the life of a child who is less fortunate. Above in the clickable photo you will find a list of the most URGENT ITEMS needed to make Christmas brighter for children.

Please consider picking up a few items, TODAY. Or, if you would like a collection canister or poster for your office, church, or group contact James at jcummings@opendoormission.org or 829-1554.

Visit www.opendoormission.org for your life-changing volunteer opportunities.

PERSONAL NOTE

This is a charity that I donate to on a regular basis. I had the opportunity to correspond with the Open Door Mission today and there is a HUGE need for children’s hats, mittens and fleece blankets.

Sometimes the perception is the Open Door Mission is so big that they don’t need these things BUT reality is that they are big and that makes the needs even bigger. Especially, when it is small donations from thousands that add up to make the difference.

If you know of somebody that has these items in bulk that would be willing to donate them for the needy will you encourage them to contact the Open Door Mission as to what the best way is to accomplish this?

Thanks so much you guys! Please feel free to repost this information on your own blogs OR to track back to this post at will. THANKS!
