The Voluntary Action Center is asking the Gordon County community to help make Christmas special for local children through its annual Operation Happy Christmas program.
Several children are still waiting to be matched with sponsors, and the organization is encouraging individuals, families, businesses and church groups to consider participating.
Those who volunteer to sponsor a child will receive information about the child’s age, clothing sizes and Christmas wish list. This information allows sponsors to select gifts that meet each child’s needs and holiday wishes.
The program provides an opportunity for community members to make a direct difference in the lives of local families during the holiday season.
With Christmas approaching, VAC officials are hoping additional sponsors will come forward to ensure every participating child has something special waiting on Christmas morning.
Anyone interested in sponsoring a child through Operation Happy Christmas can contact the Voluntary Action Center at 706-629-7283.
