Operation Spread the Joy

Join us in supporting breast cancer patients and their families this holiday season through our annual gift drive program. From November 6 – December 8, we “Spread the Joy” by collecting and distributing gifts, comfort items and gift cards to help make the season bright.

Spreading the Joy

Our Operation Spread the Joy 2024 campaign was a huge success thanks to so many generous donations and sponsors. Here’s a look at what we were able to accomplish thanks to you!

Ways To Support

Donate Gifts, Gift Cards and Comfort Items

Our grantee holiday wish list is released in November and you can shop for items on the wishlist to give joy to our grantees and family members. You can either purchase the gifts online to ship to our staff or you can purchase and bring the gifts to wrap/ be wrapped at our wrapping party in December. Our 2025 wishlist will be released in mid to late November 2025.

Sponsor a Family

Another way to support Operation Spread the Joy is to sponsor a family for the holidays, with a monetary donation and we purchase the gifts for those sponsoring. You can also request to have a wish list for one family to handle purchasing their gifts. Individuals, businesses

Volunteer

There are several opportunities for volunteers from hosting a wrapping party, hosting a fundraiser, helping write holiday notes, helping with care packages or stockings, and more.  If you are interested in volunteering please contact us.
