The Kiwanis Club of Gorham, Maine has launched a statewide program called "Operation Holiday Cheer," an important and ambitious effort to provide holiday gifts to the children of Maine's military families. We need your help.

Operation Holiday Cheer seeks to raise money to purchase and deliver a holiday package to every child of Maine’s military servicemen and servicewomen who is interested in participating. This effort goes beyond personal ideology - regardless of your beliefs about the war, we think you will agree that these children deserve our show of appreciate and support when their moms and dads are away or are haunted by the ever-present specter of deployment.

Over 9,000 children in Maine have a parent who serves in the Maine military during the holidays. They need our support and recognition, and we can't let them down.

Quite simply, Operation Holiday Cheer will strive to raise money until each child has a gift available to them.

We have enlisted the support of WGME 13, Citadel Broadcasting, Nassau Broadcasting Partners, and a host of other companies and organizations who believe that Operation Holiday Cheer will make a significant impact on the lives of Maine's military families.

But more importantly, we need your support. Click on the tabs above to find out more about how you can help bring a smile to all the children of Maine's military families.
