Operation Secret Angel

Angels are a symbol of hope, love, faith, purity, innocence, strength and protection! All things we need this holiday season.

The holiday season is typically viewed as a time of happiness and rejoicing. However, for some this is a time of sadness, loneliness, anxiety, and depression.  The current pandemic has increased the feeling of sadness, isolation and depression especially as individuals/families are not getting together physically with each other or friends during the holidays.

The goal of Operation Secret Angel is to bring joy and happiness to others this holiday season!
