The Operation Gift Wrap Program, sponsored by the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Veterans' Sanctuary and Armed Forces Veterans' Club, is collecting requests for a Christmas wish-list, as well as donations, to help provide for the needs of ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø veterans and their spouses during the holiday season.

The Veterans' Sanctuary and Veterans' Club will also be partnering with the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program to collect toys for each of the family's children.

For Operation Gift Wrap, ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø student veterans are encouraged to submit their requests through Dec. 6.  They can submit these requests at the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Veterans' Sanctuary office, located on the third floor of the Pond Student Union, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. When submitting requests, people should specify if they would like gifts, or gift cards, for the family’s adults.

To participate in the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, those making requests should submit the genders and ages of the children in each family. The Veterans' Sanctuary will provide this information to the Toys for Tots Program. 

Donations for Operation Gift Wrap can be made at the Veterans' Sanctuary or at the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Foundation, located in the basement of the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Administration Building. The Veterans' Club will also be collecting donations and wish-list requests from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2 in ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø's Rendezvous Complex and Pond Student Union from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Please limit gift requests to $50 per person; wishes will be fulfilled as funding allows. 

The gifts will be wrapped and ready for pick up/delivery to each of the families on Dec. 9.
