Operation Santa needs some help

For close to a quarter century Operation Santa Claus (OSC) has been giving Christmas to Lexington children that otherwise would not get the chance to have it.

This year OSC donations are down as volunteers have only collected about $9,120 as of Friday.

Lexington’s OSC is an organized effort by the Optimist’s Club and various other volunteers.

Families eligible for OSC were selected through an application process, then each qualifying family was then able to shop at the  Operation Santa Claus official store at the Lexington United Methodist Church, Wednesday, Dec. 17.

Anyone who has not yet had the chance is invited to make a donation and send it to:

Operation Santa Claus, P.O. Box 355, Lexington, NE, 68850.

Donations to date include:

Wal-Mart, National Association of Letter Carriers, Gary and Nancy Wright, Plum Creek Bank, Lexington Dairy Queen, Pinnacle Bank, Barmore Drug Store, Amy Biehl Owens, Lexington Community Foundation, Richard and Elizabeth Cooney, PEO Chapter AN, Jim and Jeanette Hain, Knights of Columbus, Tier One Bank, Larry and Sharon Steinberger, Ray and Pat Ehlers, Tyson Fresh Meats, Ken and Linda Graus, Robert and Priscilla Master, Presbyterian Church Clipper Ship, Kerry, Jenae and Mike McCormick, John and Jan Wightman, Hap and Audrey Hardesty, Kerry and Marion Anderson, Deb and Greg Stuchlik, Melvin Streit, Steve and Connie Weides, Mike Jeffrey, Randy and Peg Carpenter, Al and Susan Lamberts, Marvin and Pat Goldsmith, Nebraska By-Products, Lexington Clipper-Herald, Rex and Sheryl Hunt, and Mark and Patty Jones.
