Operation Elf

Operation Elf is the toy giveaway for the children served through the programs at Centers for Children and families. Each year money and toys are donated for the children and in December, Centers holds a party where the children can pick out a toy from the hundreds that have been donated and purchased. And of course, Santa is always there to see the children, hear their wish lists, and have his picture taken with them.
