November is here.

And so too are the Ray of Hope Christmas Guardian Angels scrolls program.

This is a chance for members of the community – friends, family or local businesses – to get involved by sponsoring a child in need for the upcoming holiday.

According to Ray of Hope: “You can choose to provide one, two, or all three gifts on a child’s wish list (scroll).”

The purchase of gift items can be dropped off at the Ray of Hope Corporate Office at 113 W. Yosemite Ave., Manteca, or at the following authorized locations:

·        Manteca Police Department, 1001 W. Center St.

·        Manteca Fire Department headquarters, 1154 S. Union Rd.

·        Cabral Chrysler Jeep, 1145 W. Yosemite Ave.

·        Pro Touch Auto, 235 Moffat Blvd.

The youngsters in Ray of Hope are those who are referrals from agencies such as the San Joaquin County Child Protective Services, Child Abuse Protection Council, and Human Service Agency, to name a few.
