The goal of the drive is to provide a Merry Christmas complete with toys, clothes, and essentials for many area children whose families' ability to fulfill their Christmas wishes may be limited. 
 
Last year, many children from Hempstead, Lafayette, and Nevada counties had their wishes fulfilled.

An ROC Angel Christmas tree will be located at the front entrance of the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Hope with each tree filled with deserving “angels." 
 
Simply pick a number from the tree containing specific information on each child, such as shoe and clothes sizes, favorite color and specific wishes.

The unwrapped toys and items may be dropped off at the Rainbow of Challenges administration building located at 500 South Main Street in Hope.
 
The deadline to drop off items is Friday, December 8.
 
The items will then be wrapped and distributed to the families of the angels during the month of December.

Those who purchase items are urged to attach the number representing their Angel when they drop off their items in order to match it to the name on the list being kept at Making Rainbows.
