Camp County saves Christmas
Our community’s normal angel tree process was canceled this year because of the pandemic, but many stepped up to make sure our most vulnerable kids would have presents under their tree on Christmas morning. Alethea Smerdon of God’s Closet along with Elizabeth Williams & Jessica Lemarr created Operation North Star to be sure our most vulnerable kids will have food on their table & presents under the tree. The schools selected families that needed Christmas help. Jenny Thompson was one of many PISD employees that gathered the information for kids from their campuses for Operation North Star said “Knowing the joy that will be on a child’s face, that wouldn’t have otherwise had anything under their Christmas tree, is what it’s all about.” Many local businesses, churches & individuals did what they always do to help our kids, they rallied & gave with joined hearts but not joined hands this year.
