Operation Christmas Miracle is an annual event that allows D.C.’s neediest children to receive gifts on their Christmas list.

Last year, Central Union Mission supplied more than 2,000 Christmas gifts to some of the area’s poor and homeless children. Many were distributed at their location at 1350 R Street, NW in Washington, D.C. This year the distribution will take place on Saturday, December 15th starting at 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and volunteers are always welcome.

To volunteer, contact SMerrigan@missiondc.org. or to learn more information about how you can sponsor a needy child, go to www.missiondc.or/christmas

*Donations accepted up until December 19th.
