About Project Holiday

Each year the Howard County Office on Aging and Independence leads Project Holiday, an initiative that delivers holiday gifts to older residents who could use some extra cheer at the end of the year. Volunteers of all ages, community organizations, crafters, service providers, and more rally around some of Howard County’s most experienced residents.
