Times are tough for some families. Christmas is coming, and money is tight. How do you tell your kids there won’t be any presents under the Christmas tree?
Jes Rodne said that doesn’t need to be the case. In her fourth year as the volunteer director of Operation Family Christmas, Rodne noted, based on the past years, “We have a community that is ready to rally around you and help.”
If you need help purchasing Christmas presents for your children, Operation Family Christmas is set up to make sure your kids will get gifts.
Who can participate? Cook County parents or legal guardians with children zero months to 18 years of age that need a little help during the holiday season.
Where do I sign up? Applications are available at the Tofte Branch of the Grand Marais State Bank, Cook County Law Enforcement Center, Cook County Public Health & Human Services, Security State Bank, Violence Prevention Center, North Shore Federal Credit Union, I.S.D. 166 and Great Expectations charter school.
Where can I turn in my application? All applications need to be turned in by Nov. 22 at 4 p.m. Applications can be turned in to any of the places that they were picked up.
If you have any questions, contact Jes at 218-370-2019 or jmrodne@gmail.com.
