"We Care"

The "We Care" Christmas Project sponsored by OCHA employees collects and delivers food, clothing, and toys to families in our family developments.

OCHA Christmas parties are held for children ages 2 to 12 at each of the family developments. Each department sponsors and staffs a party, with games, refreshments, and face painting booths. Each child attending receives a Christmas stocking and a Polaroid picture taken on Santa's lap.
