2008 Newsletter |
This entirely
volunteer Christmas gift-giving program, sponsored and coordinated by Child & Family
Services, Inc. State Office, began in 1971 by individuals who wanted to make a difference
in the lives of children who reside in foster care.
Recipients include infants, children,
teenagers, and adults with disabilities. Over
4,000 children and youth are provided with gifts
each year to open on Christmas morning and since 1971 more than 50,000
participants have had their Christmas wishes come true as a result of
Operation Good Cheer volunteer efforts. Thousands of generous volunteers gather annually to
participate in Operation Good Cheer. Donor groups and individuals purchase and wrap
Christmas gifts from a child's "Wish List". At donor sites, these gifts are
picked up and transported by volunteer trucking companies and their drivers to a
centrally located airport. Pilots and drivers with their aircraft and vehicles transport
the gifts to local airports across Michigan. At each airport, agency volunteers gather the
the gifts and deliver them to the children and youth in foster care.
This impressive display of
generosity provides thousands of youth, some of whom would not receive anything otherwise,
with gifts and the joy of knowing there are people who care.
For more information, or to participate in Operation Good Cheer,
please contact our Program
Coordinator or complete an on-line volunteer application. |
