Help Support Operation Blessing

The holiday season is already upon is. As we're caught up in our shopping frenzy, it can be easy to forget that there's others who are struggling.
 
This year, RiverWinds is partnering with West Deptford High School and the National Honor Society to support Operation Blessing.
 
Operation Blessing is an initiative to help local families provide a memorable Christmas for their children. Invited families will be able to choose items for their loved ones at the high school prior to the holidays so that no child goes without.
 
A tree dedicated to this initiative is located in the RiverWinds lobby, with tags indicating a needed item. Clothes, toys, and food will all be listed. Simply choose a tag representing an item, purchase the item, and bring it back to RiverWinds. An NHS representative from the high school will be collecting them to bring back to WDHS for their eventual distribution.
Tags will be available until December 3rd.
Questions can be directed to Aimee Boucher – 856-251-0990 x103 or MaskaA@RiverWinds.org, or Kathleen Laughlin, Red Bank Elementary School Nurse –
856-845-2727 x5228 or KLaughlin@WDeptford.k12.nj.us.
