Dear Operation Ornaments Family,

What an amazing year! Thanks to your dedication, we collected about 90,000 ornaments. With your help, we served 5,100 families, 11,000 seniors, and Meals on Wheels recipients. We supported disaster survivors in communities affected by Hurricane Helene across North Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. In addition, we served people in:

New Mexico: Ruidoso, and Dexter
Iowa: Greenfield
California: Altadena, and Havilah
Oklahoma: multiple counties
Nebraska: Elkhorn
Texas: Temple
Florida: St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Perry
Georgia: Coffee County
Kentucky
Hawaii: Lahaina

Our Santa for Seniors program also helped individuals in Washington, Oregon, California, Minnesota, and Alaska. It has been a very busy and successful year!

Because ornament donations have grown so much, we are adding new board and committee members. We still need help with ornament collecting and weather spotters to identify areas to serve in 2026. If you’d like to help, please email info@operationornaments.org.

Help us help those suffering by making a tax-deductible donation. If your employer matches donations (including craft supplies in many cases), please be sure to submit your request and let us know if you need a receipt from us to access those matching funds. Please let us know if your company offers matching so we can add it to our public list.

Please share our mission with friends and family. We are very grateful for all your support in 2025 and very, very excited about the possibilities for 2026.

Carolyn, Carol, Kim, Elaine, Tanya
