2020 Operation HoHoHo – Smiles Prevail Through the Uncertainty

by | Dec 25, 2020 | 2020 - Operation HoHoHo, News | 0 comments

As we started preparing for the 2020 Operation HoHoHo toy drive, we weren’t sure what to expect this year because of COVID-19. We usually rely on parties and get-togethers to collect the majority of the toys for the toy drive. As this has been put on hold this year, we were not sure what to expect. However, the Operation HoHoHo Elves didn’t miss a beat and got creative – reaching out to folks in new, fun, and safe ways, and we didn’t miss a beat. Toys started flowing in from all directions, and we certainly kept our friendly delivery folks busy dropping off all of the presents!

We usually run the toy drive until Christmas Eve and then drive the toys down to the Ronald McDonald house in the evening. However, for the first time since we started the toy drive, we dropped the toys off a little early to ensure we followed all safety protocols and allowed the Ronald McDonald House team a little more time to work their magic.

When it was all said and done, we were able to deliver a sleigh full of toys again this Christmas! And yes, I know we say it every year – though it’s because all of you have such huge hearts and continue this simple idea of sharing a few smiles to those in need!

Merry Christmas and we’re looking forward to Operation HoHoHo 2021, where we’ve all worked our way through these crazy times and get back to a bit of nomal!

“This year,” says Brzozowski, “was actually a record. We were actually standing there holding the toys up, so they wouldn’t fall out as we were packing up to the top of the trailer.”

Even though Santa won’t admit it, it’s good that he can visit Dr Molinare to make sure his teeth are clean after all of the holiday sweets!!

Mrs. Claus makes sure all of elves and Santa make it to Dr. Molinare so that they don’t get any cavities and this Santa was so grateful of the support that they gave to Operation HoHoHo!!

It’s always a good thing to have a dentist on your side when every house you visit has chocolate chip cookies waiting for you!! Thank you for all of your Operation HoHoHo support!!
