I am very happy to be entering my third year as organizer for Operation Family Christmas (OFC). I look forward to helping families in this county that need assistance during the holiday season. It is important as a community that we work together to ensure that all children in our county wake up on Christmas morning and feel the magic that arrives on such a special day.
