Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

On January 5, 2012 Anurag Kalra, a sophomore at Fairfield Ludlowe High School, handed over a donation of $400 to Carla Miklos Executive Director of Operation Hope, 636 Old Post Road, Fairfield, CT 06824. Anurag volunteers at a community math club on Saturday afternoons, where he coaches students in grades 3-8 for national level math contests to raise funds for charities.

Whole Foods Fairfield donated 5% of the Total Store Sales done on January 11th to Operation Hope! Shoppers also contributed by buying specific items for our food pantry and for the shelter.
The funds will help us offset expenses related to providing food, shelter and support to our communities in need.
Another great example of community partnership! Thank you Whole Foods for this great initiative.

The Fairfield Ludlowe High School Student Representative Council held a fundraiser to benefit Operation Hope on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at Garden Catering, 2074 Black Rock Turnpike.

Thank you Garden Catering for helping OH and thank you to the Fairfield Ludlowe High School students behind the initiative!

On Thanksgiving morning, Chip's Pancake Restaurant offered a breakfast of champions to benefit Operation Hope. 100% of the proceeds went to Operation Hope, including staff tips!
