Volunteers don't necessarily have the time - they just have the heart. Thank you to all our ORHC 2021 Volunteers


Sincerely, Team Ellsworth Spouses Club

Operation Raider Holiday CHeer 2021 Volunteers

    Welcome

    Operation Raider Holiday Cheer

    A huge thank you to all our TESC volunteers along with our community partners, Ellsworth leadership & base organizations that worked together to bring some Holiday Cheer to our 750+ Ellsworth Airmen living in the dorms this holiday season!!

    Not Just A Cookie Drive

    Our Air Force is evolving & so are our Airmen! 


    Which is how we evolved from a Cookie Drive into Operation Raider Holiday Cheer (ORHC). Besides cookies, we will be collecting & delivering a variety of items our Airmen have requested that makes dorm living & being away from home just a little bit better around the holidays.   


    This is a collective effort for our Raider Family to provide goodie bags with notes of appreciation. We ask that all items be store bought, individually wrapped or packaged & delivered on or before Friday, December 3, 2021.
