Operation Thank Our Troops Holiday and Winter Care Packages
The Community of Santa Clarita is proudly remembering our local troops overseas with care packages for the holidays and winter. Help out, if you can. Let’s show our appreciation and put some smiles on those faces. Christmas and Hanukkah packages will be assembled and mailed out during the month of November through December 7th to arrive for the holidays. Winter packages will continue to be mailed throughout the month of January, followed by monthly and holiday mailings. This heartfelt community effort has been proudly hosted by the local 501c3 non-profit Prayer Angels for the Military, Inc. for over 20 years.
