Operation Holiday Cheer Collection Date

In a few weeks, Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Roberts will launch the 11th annual Operation Holiday, a holiday care package initiative to support Rhode Island service men and women deployed overseas. A total of 350 care packages will be assembled for Rhode Island National Guard members who will spend the holidays away from home this year.

Begin personal collection on the 1st of November, but do not drop off until the collection date. We will accept and sort donations for the care packages at the Armory in Warwick on Saturday, November 23rd.
