CARMEL – Childhood years are a time of wonder and excitement for most children; however, for those living in temporary housing or in at-risk situations holiday experiences are often less joyous.

Operation ELF (Everyone Loves Families) is dedicated to rekindling the excitement and restoring the joy to children and teens.

Thanks to the efforts of the Putnam Youth Bureau and the Putnam Bureau of Emergency Services along with dozens of volunteers and a generous community, boys and girls whose families are struggling financially will be experiencing the joy of opening a present on Christmas morning or during Chanukah affording them the magic they deserve.

Youth Bureau Director Janine Cunningham Monday expressed thanks on behalf of her agency for the widespread community support.
