I want to start by saying THANK YOU to all of you who have continued to support Operation Pretty Things with your donations of cosmetics and beauty essentials. Without those vital contributions this organization would cease to exist.
Not only does it exist...it thrives, serving 14 counties along the coastal region of North Carolina and beginning to extend our reach beyond the boarders of this state! And because of your generosity, the gifts we give are exceptional! I am proud of the gifts that carry our name. The love and care that goes into making each gift - handpicked items from the donated products and the precious handwritten love notes full of hope and encouragement - never ceases to amaze me.
We have the opportunity to be a tangible extension of love. We ask that you continue to give quality NEW pretty things.
