Operation Mistletoe: 3rd Annual Holiday Drive!
Donation protected
Operation Mistletoe, founded in 2022, is back for the 3rd annual run of our now favorite tradition!
Our goal, originally to raise money to deliver toys by motorcycle to children in need, has grown to include delivering goods to local hospitals for the families of children receiving medical care, and clothing/needed items for youth who are currently in foster and group homes here in Westchester County, NY.
In 2022, we were able to deliver $1,000+ worth of gifts, making 3 stops for local hospitals/children's centers!
In 2023, we were able to deliver $4,500+ worth of gifts, making 5 stops for local hospitals, children's centers, and foster/group homes - beating our goal by over $1,000!
To say it's been a ride (pun very much intended) is an understatement, and as full as our sleigh has gotten through the support and donations we've received, it's never been as full as the smiles of the children we get to meet.
This year, we're raising the bar even further, and seeing just how far we can spread the magic and holiday spirit this season.
In 2024, we're setting our target at $5,000+ in donations for this year's Operation Mistletoe!
Delivery route planning is already underway, and we're actively coordinating with the same wonderful teams we had the privilege of working with last year!
With your continued support (word of mouth is as appreciated as monetary contributions), I believe we can hit the $5,000+ goal we've set for Operation Mistletoe 2024.
Thank you all, and we look forward to sharing in the holiday magic with you!
