Applicant Information— Application Guidelines, Elegibility, and required Documents …

Applicants may apply for assistance from one program only. Only one application can be submitted per household, all persons living at one location should be listed on one application.

There are three holiday programs to choose from. Duplicate applications for the same household will have an adverse effect on the processing of your application. These programs work together to help the more than 35,000 people in our community who need assistance for a brighter holiday. They are Salvation Army Angle Tree, Catholic Charities Christmas Caring, and Inter-Faith Ministries Operation Holiday. The services they provide are not identical, one may fit the applicant’s needs better than another.

Operation Holiday provides nonperishable food, a food voucher, coats, blankets, and a toy for children 14 and younger.
