The holidays are still a few months away.

Ray of Hope is asking folks to be a Christmas Guardian Angel to help a child in need.

In order to do so, they can pick up a wish-list scrolls for the program that supports the Ray of Hope Children’s Services.

Those looking to get involved – friends, family or local businesses – can fulfill one, two, or even all three wishes as listed on the scroll come this holiday season.

The purchased 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.
