Year-round Effort Will Put Smiles on Children's Faces
Year-round Effort at Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail Retirement Community Will Put Smiles on Children's Faces

Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail has been collecting items for Operation Christmas Child all year long. From toiletries to stuffed animals to art supplies, each box delivered will contain items that both meet the child’s needs and bring that child joy.
“It’s so fun to see the kids getting an entire box that’s just for them,” said Kristen Canham, Executive Director of Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail, “and it’s a feel-good act of kindness and we’re already excited for next year.”
For those interested in joining the efforts, you may donate items or monies to be included with the Vintage Hills donations or volunteer to wrap packages. For more information, contact Vintage Hills at Prairie Trails at 1-888-568-3230.
