Crofton Elves Pack 100 Gift Bags for Troops

Crofton Village Garden Club members joined Long & Foster agents and staff in Operation Christmas.

Santa’s workshop moved from the North Pole to Crofton on Tuesday as members of the Crofton Village Garden Club joined agents and staff at Long & Foster to fill 100 holiday gift bags for deployed troops.

Items that were packed were donated by the two groups.

It took the elves an hour to fill the gift bags that are en route to Operation Give in Salt Lake City, UT. The bags will then be distributed to men and women on duty.
