Gift Giveaway Impacts Community

Sunday, December 18, 2011 CHCRC hosted its Annual Operation Holiday.  While the building had its constant stream of parents and children entering the Center to Christmas music and pictures with  Mrs. Santa Claus, you could not miss the smiles and singing of Christmas carols from the volunteers and children who participated in this event. There was no doubt that the building was filled with hope of a wonderful holiday season for those less fortunate.
 
Operation Holiday is ECD’s annual toy give-a-way. ECD, through its Clinton Hill Community Resource Center (“CHCRC”), distributes toys to families who lack the resources to provide presents for their children.Without it, most of the recipients would not have had a gift at all. OPERATION HOLIDAY
