Charlotte, you have been a guiding light and a true champion for my children and me since 2017, supporting us emotionally and spiritually through every chapter of our lives. You truly are my earth angel. Your boundless heart is the driving force behind OCH. I have watched with awe as you took a lockdown passion project born in your living room in 2020—making just 20 packages—and built 'Operation Christmas Hamper' into a lifeline that now supports thousands of struggling fami

I cannot thank Charlotte and Operation Community Hamper enough for the difference they have made, not only in my life but in the lives of so many people in our community. I have seen first-hand the kindness, generosity and dedication that Charlotte shows to others. She has helped me and my family in so many ways, including providing a beautiful Christmas food hamper and gifts that made Christmas feel truly special. She has also supported the supported housing where I live by

I just wanted to say an absolutely huge and very heartfelt thankyou to the wonderful and generous people who donated to help the children from our primary school to be able to go on their end of year six camp. These children have been through so much in their short lives and have had to grow up too quickly having experienced traumas most adults would struggle to deal with. I can’t wait to see their faces when they’re told they can go! To have that carefree and full of fun wee

Tiffany Graham Senior service manager Wiltshire leaving care
Hi Charlotte, The young people were absolutely over the moon with the hampers this year, especially the branded items such as Nike socks, jumpers, and similar gifts. As you are aware, many of the young people we support do not have family members who are able to give them gifts. While we do everything we can to support them over the Christmas period, as a charity — and with so many care leavers — there are limits to what we can provide. OCH gives them a real opportunity to fe

Hi Cleo, Thank you so much for the vouchers, I delivered 2 last night and the rest today. Last night when I dropped one of the vouchers off, Mum stood at her door and cried. She didn't know how she was going to manage the holidays and was completely overwhelmed with the support. She asked me to pass on her sincerest of thanks and to let you know she will now be able to take the children to the park for a picnic in the holidays for a treat. I thought this was lovely, so wan

Oh Charlotte, thankyou so much, this has made me cry. Either day is fine by me. I have an oncolgy appointment on the 12th, apart from that I am here, alone. This has been such a sad year for me, I have lost at least 20 dear friends and my 17 year old little dog. Clinging on by my fingertips, please take care all of you Santa's Little Helpers, your cause is a lifeline to myself and countless others but please pace yourselves. I just wish that I could offer more help xx

Teacher at Blackminster school, Evesham
School are still absolutely raving about the hampers, how fantastic they were. One parent cried on the doorstep & couldn’t believe that it was all for them. One of boys told his teacher that he had the best nights sleep in a long time, because he had a blanket in a hamper that was delivered to his Mum yesterday. He was snug all night 🥲 & can’t wait to go to bed tonight. Thank you so much for introducing us to OCH, it’s made 4 families extremely happy. Thank you ! Thank you

I just wanted to send a massive thank you for the hamper that I was able to deliver to a family I support! They were absolutely delighted with both the food hamper and gifts, Mum said she felt as though it had been made for her, it was so perfect in terms of the content and she was very pleased with it all, and said she felt so lucky to receive this, for the children but also for herself. The children also loved the gifts and the items in the food hamper, Mum had to put some

Good morning We wanted to share how the Christmas hampers initiative has positively impacted our vulnerable families this year. Many families expressed that the hampers provided not only essential food items but also brought a sense of relief and joy during what can be a very challenging time. For some, the support helped ease financial pressures and ensured children could enjoy festive treats and presents. Beyond the practical help, families felt cared for and connected to
