The program has served over 36,000 children in its first four years at numerous locations which include the Sheriff’s Office, Douglasville Police Department, Douglas County Fire Department, and a number of participating churches.
Operation Christmas is based on community effort and is not sponsored by the Douglas County School System or the Douglas County Government. If your child applies to the registration requirements, register today to receive your gifts on distribution date which is December 14, 2019.
