Agency Partners
Operation ELF works with more than 20 homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, hospitals, after-school programs, and other children’s organizations across Massachusetts. Together, we help children and families in need receive gifts, toys, warm clothing, and other essential items during the holiday season.
We do all of our work exclusively through referrals from our agency partners. All of our agency partners serve children and attest that these children have no other donors fulfilling their children’s wish-lists. Let us know if your charitable organization would like to become an agency partner with Operation ELF. Regrettably, we are unable to accommodate individual requests.
“For many years, Jewish Family Service of Metrowest (JFSMW) has witnessed the extraordinary kindness of Operation ELF. Their volunteers bring joy and dignity to children from immigrant families who might otherwise face a difficult winter. Operation ELF is a trusted partner – organized, dependable, and filled with heart. Their commitment to ensuring that every child feels seen and valued during the holidays reflects the very best of our community spirit.”
