The Holidays can be a tough time of year for many families, especially military families who deal with the constant deployments of their loved ones and moving around from duty station to duty station. During the November and December timeframe, Operation Once in a Lifetime will receive about 4500 requests from Active Duty Service Members, Veterans and their families needing assistance for holiday meals and toys for their kids for Christmas.

Operation Once in a Lifetime developed a a program called Toys for Troops where we raise toys for military families needing assistance during the holidays. Not every military family is in need but for the ones that are, we try and make a positive impact in their lives by donating new unwrapped toys to them.

Toys can be donated at several of our drop off locations across the United States. To find the nearest drop off location near you, please email: staff@operationonceinalifetime.com or you can make a tax deductible donation directly to our Toys for Troops Program by going to our Current Needs page and look for the Toys for Troops section.
