Donated by a number of Michigan businesses and corporations, the gifts are delivered by volunteer pilots to city and county airports around the state. The gifts are then loaded onto trucks and delivered, by volunteer truck drivers, to Ennis Center and similar agencies participating in Operation Good Cheer.
