Operation LAMBOur community outreach program to help mentally and physically handicapped children. Sometimes it is referred to as the Tootsie Roll project because we give away thousands and thousands of Tootsie Rolls to draw attention to our program.
Why "Operation LAMB?" we are often asked. It comes from the bible, "inasmuch as you have done to the
least
among
my
brethren, you have done unto me."
For Chapel Hill, we work with Wal-Mart, Harris-Teeter, Lowe's, and Food Lion to setup a display at their entrances. We give the candy away and people often put a dollar, a twenty, a nickel or a dime. Sometimes we get pennies. What we collect go right back to our local community. We have no administrative costs (save the actual cost of the candy).
Look for our knights in their bright yellow vests. Enjoy the candy as our gift.
But, before you go, take a moment to read our
Christmas Story, it will put it all in perspective.
