MiraCosta College to Help Needy Children through Holiday Angel Project

For the 26th consecutive year, MiraCosta College students, staff, and community members will have the opportunity to give a local needy child the gift of his or her dreams––by participating in the college’s Holiday Angel Project.

Each child's first name and wish appears on a paper angel hanging on holiday trees located at each of MiraCosta College’s three campuses. Those who want to buy a gift for a child take an angel from one of the trees, "sign out" the angel with MiraCosta staff, purchase the gift, wrap it using the paper angel as a tag, and return it to the campus. 

Holiday Angel trees will be available at these college locations: 

·       Oceanside Campus, 1 Barnard Drive: in the Student Center Cafeteria, Bldg. 3400. Tree will be available beginning November 25. Gifts must be returned to the Student Activities Office in the Student Center by December 13.

·       San Elijo Campus, 3333 Manchester Ave., Cardiff: in the Student Center Cafeteria. Tree is available now. Gifts must be returned to the Student Activities Office at San Elijo by December 2.

·       Community Learning Center, 1831 Mission Ave., Oceanside: The tree will be available beginning November 19. Gifts must be returned to the front counter at this location by December 4.

The Holiday Angel Project is sponsored by the Associated Student Government of MiraCosta College.
