Operation Christmas: Bolingbrook is a 100% volunteer organization that has been helping local families for 48yrs with food and new toys for children during the Christmas Season.

Adopt-A-Child Sponsors Needed
For some families in our community 'hardship' and 'struggle' are not just words. These are the families whose financial situations will not allow them to experience a joy-filled holiday season. Operation Christmas is looking for sponsors. Give the gift of joy to a child. For more information please click here.
