Bountiful Blessings & Operation Christmas Care
Since 1999, Bountiful Blessings Thanksgiving Outreach has helped families in the Harlem Heights neighborhood make a traditional Thanksgiving meal to share with their families. In 2020, partner 
agencies, businesses, philanthropic organizations and more than 100 volunteers provided turkeys and groceries to 300 families and nearly 1,500 individuals.
Our Christmas outreach helps more than 800 children from Harlem Heights.
Gifts are distributed at “Operation Christmas Care” where each child visita Santa, met Sheriff’s officers and firefighters from Iona McGregor Fire Department, has cookies with hot chocolate and makes Christmas crafts, while their parents choose gifts for their children, keeping the surprise in Christmas for our kids.
We can only do this because of the generous support of our neighbors who contribute their time and money to support our mission.
