To give back to those who are serving, or have served, Operation St. Nick is granting wishes up to $3,000 for 15 Grundy County military families with children. 

Serving our country has a big effect on loved ones of those who serve. Family life is disrupted for spouses and children, careers are put on hold, and the price of personal sacrifice is often times life changing. We want to repay those who have served our country on our behalf by making this year a little easier for their families. Wishes will be granted in July. 

To be eligible to have your wish granted:
-Must be a resident of Grundy County
-Currently in the military or have been honorably discharged
-Entries should be filled out by the service person, or family member and submitted by 5 p.m. on July 4, 2024
-Applicants who are accepted will be required to show proof that they are in the military or veterans will be required to submit their DD-214
