About OCB

At Operation Christmas Bolingbrook (OCB), we take pride in celebrating over 50 years of dedicated service to our community, making the holiday season brighter for families in need. Our not-for-profit organization is 100% volunteer-driven, reflecting the compassionate spirit of our community. From its inception, OCB has been committed to a simple yet powerful mission: to ensure that every child in Bolingbrook and the surrounding areas has a gift to open on Christmas morning, and that every family has the food they need to celebrate the season with dignity and warmth.

Last year, with the help of our incredible volunteers and generous donors, we were able to support 488 families and bring smiles to the faces of 1,380 children. These numbers represent more than just gifts and food—they represent hope, joy, and a sense of belonging for families who might otherwise struggle during the holidays. Our efforts directly impact those at or below the poverty level, providing essential assistance when it’s needed most.

Operation Christmas Bolingbrook is a year-round initiative that requires tremendous effort, coordination, and love from our volunteers. These dedicated individuals come from all walks of life, uniting from Bolingbrook and the surrounding communities to make a difference. But we can’t do it alone. The continued success of our mission depends on the support of local organizations, businesses, groups, clubs, and families. Your involvement—whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word—plays a critical role in ensuring that no family is left behind during the holiday season.

We invite you to join us in this meaningful work. Together, we can continue to bring joy, comfort, and hope to those in need, strengthening the bonds of our community and making every Christmas a little brighter for all.
