Operation Hope

The Christian Center is holding there 12 annual Operation Hope for underprivileged families and kids who need to experience a Christmas of there own. The Park City community are frequent participators in the special event. Anybody may volunteer for Operation Hope by bringing an unwrapped gift to the Christian Center. You may even sponsor a kid age 0-16 by picking up a card with their name, age, and gender from the Christian Center, bring them a little present to then bring back to the Chrisitian Center. Fortunately, most of the volunteer slots are almost full, so volunteer fast! If you can’t come in to pick up a card personally, email jenny@ccofpc.org to receive a child.

This year, the Christian Center is making it a toy store so registered parents can shop for free. “Our hope with the Toy Store is to empower parents and strengthen family bonds.” says the Christian Center themselves. If you bring a gift to donate to the Christian Center personally, you will receive a complimentary Operation Hope ornament to remember the event. 

Who is participating? Park City School district is participating in the event this year. They have asked their students to bring money or toys, new or gently used to school and they will be donated to the “Toy Store.” Also, Park City Swim Team is volunteering there time to the organization. The swimmers are bringing unwrapped gifts to practice. The Park City Community is obviously very active in this program. 

Hopefully this years “toy store” and gift drive will be a success with all the participators including the Park City School Distirct and the Park City Swim Team.
