OPERATION CHRISTMAS - A WORD FROM THE VP

As you may know, Whitney Key Club partners with the Salvation Army each year to hold our annual Operation Christmas to support families through the winter season. Many of these families do not have money and food to support their families through the winter months. The stress these families face is even greater due to the unprecedented times of the pandemic. This is where Whitney steps in. Until December 8th, Key Club will be collecting donations of money and food to provide these families with food and gifts during the holiday season. We encourage you to, please, donate what you can and ask everyone you know, whether it be family or friends, to donate as well. LINK TO CANNED FOOD LIST

How do I donate?

• Collect canned food or other supplies listed on the flyer, then drop them off at the school office. • Drop money off at the school office. If this is not possible for you, contact anyone on Key Club cabinet so we can work something out because every dollar counts.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS - THE MONEY

This month, we have a special drive - OPERATION CHRISTMAS! Operation Christmas is a partnership between the Salvation Army and Whitney Key Club, wherein Key Club raises money and collects non-perishable food to donate to low income families. These families are especially facing hardships during COVID-19, and thus it is our duty to assist them as much as possible.

Where does the money go?

The money is used to buy gifts that the families request, such as clothing, kitchen appliances, and more. Any remaining money from the gifts is given in the form of a gift card to the families. The Salvation Army will receive the gifts we purchase and distribute it to the families we sponsor.

How can you help out?

1. Venmo a donation of any amount to @Maya Alvarez-Harmon. Make sure to leave a note that you are donating to Operation Christmas! 2. On November 30th, drop off your donation and non-perishable food to Whitney’s front office! 3. Several of Whitney’s clubs will be hosting fundraisers in the next couple of weeks to raise money for Operation Christmas! You can participate in a variety of those fundraisers!
