Project Legacy

Project Legacy’s goal is to involve the community and local businesses to provide families in need with a wide variety of necessities and gifts during the holidays. Donors may “adopt” an entire family, an individual, or provide monetary assistance to assist with last shopping and gift wrapping supplies.

It is Operation Wildcat’s mission to pool the resources in our community to help students and families in need. Over the past years, OW has seen an increase in needs, and with limited resources, we have revised several of our programs to ensure our ability to assist as many as possible. If a family received assistance from Legacy the prior year, they will be ineligible to receive assistance from Project Legacy the current year. Family can still receive holiday gifts for their children from Gift Box.

Project Legacy 2024 Thanks

Sharing some exciting news about Project Legacy's remarkable success this past year. We're thrilled to report that we exceeded our goals, providing holiday support to 17 families within the district, ensuring their wishes and needs were met. This wouldn't have been possible without the generosity and collaboration of so many wonderful people and organizations.

Beyond providing holiday gifts, we were also able to supply each family with at least a dozen fresh eggs, thanks to the incredibly generous sponsorship of Hillandale Farms in Gettysburg. This added layer of support truly made a difference in providing these families with a more complete and wholesome holiday experience.

Our success is a testament to the incredible support of our community. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of over 30 donors, encompassing individuals, businesses, churches, and various organizations. Your partnership is invaluable, and Project Legacy simply wouldn't be able to fulfill its mission without your unwavering generosity.

We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the school counselors and the Operation Wildcat volunteers for their tireless dedication in identifying the needs of each family and ensuring that every request was carefully considered and met.
