HumanKind’s Ministries says it is falling short of some staple items for its annual Operation Holiday distribution.
More than 14,000 people, including more than 8,000 children, will receive basic needs through the holiday assistance program next week, but HumanKind says they still need 1,000 cans of soup, 2,000 boxes of cereal, and around 3,000 new or like-new kid’s coats.
The non-profit says it has seen a 20% increase in children’s applications this year, and while the non-profit has roughly 5,000 coats in its warehouse, more are still needed–especially larger sizes.
HumanKind is holding their annual Day of Giving on Saturday, Dec. 10th at the Dillons stores at Central and Rock and 21st and Maize from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Collection boxes are also in Dillons stores until then.
Monetary donations can be made at www.operationholiday.org. The organization also has Amazon and Walmart wish lists through which coats and other items can be purchased and shipped directly to HumanKind.
