Operation Happiness is an annual Christmas program in which all pre-registered participants receive a Christmas food box with a ham or turkey, pantry staples, cleaning supplies, and Christmas trimmings. Additionally, each member of the household gets a free coat and lunch on the Day of Giving.
Operation Happiness is facilitated by CCCS and is supported by the community volunteers and monetary donations.
