The holidays will be here before you know it and Peggy Christian, Gale Wilson and their Operation Christmas crew are already gearing up for another run of food and toy donations.
Operation Christmas applications must be turned in by Friday, November 22, with the designated “give out” date set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, December 13.
Applications may be picked up at the Delta Community Action on Main Street in Purcell, The Purcell Register, the Purcell Public Library, the McClain County Health Department, the OSU Extension Office and senior citizen centers in Wayne, Purcell, Newcastle, Washington, Byars and Dibble.
Applications are also available at schools in Purcell, Washington, Wayne, Dibble and Newcastle.
“Parents need to fill out the applications and either take them back to the school or fax them to the number on the application,” Mrs. Christian said.
Senior citizens will get a box of groceries including canned goods, meat and bread.
We are starting to contact people now,” Mrs. Christian said.
Anyone with any questions about the application process may call Mrs. Christian at 405-9904001 or Gale Wilson at 405-250-8316.
