Sycamore Bridges

Sycamore Bridges is working with a Sycamore Schools nurse to assist a student whose family just left a group home for their own apartment! In an effort to make the student feel comfortable in their new environment, we have been asked to provide a white noise machine. Thanks to a kind donor, this request was filled before being posted! No additional donations are needed at this time.

To ensure we receive your gifts in time for the 2025 OGB Holiday Store, our lists will close TONIGHT! We are still in need of board games, Lego sets, toy cars/tracks, and puzzles for all ages!

Sycamore Bridges is excited to partner with Operation Give Back to help fill their annual Holiday Store for the sixth year in a row! We recognize the added financial struggle for many families around the holidays, especially this year, and we believe everyone should be able to celebrate this special time together in a carefree way. OGB and Sycamore Bridges work together to curate OUR AMAZON REGISTRY and OUR TARGET WISH LIST to reflect the families' most requested gifts as they register for the Holiday Store. OGB served over 1500 children last year and they expect similar numbers this holiday season; therefore, our lists are extensive. Please scroll all the way through to find options at every price point. Our lists will be updated frequently, so check back often to see the latest requests. Remember to select  "OGB Holiday Store" for shipping so your purchases are sent directly to us. Thank you for your continued support in making sure all of our neighbors have a memorable holiday season. (If you would like a tax receipt for your purchase, reply to this post and we will email you!)

Sycamore Bridges is working with the JH Wresting coach to make sure every student on the team has a branded t-shirt to wear on match days. The team consists of 55 boys and 8 girls this year, and all but 11 students have purchased branded spirit wear. In an effort to allow all kids to feel a part of the team, we have been asked to cover the 11 students at $15 each. If you would like to sponsor a student, CLICK HERE and designate your donation to "Wresting Team".

Sycamore Bridges is working with the Blue Ash Fire Department to assist a custodial guardian and two children whose HVAC system is not working. Due to the extreme cold conditions, we have been asked to put the family up at a hotel while they get an estimate to repair the unit. Thanks to a generous donation, this request was filled before being posted. No additional donations are needed at this time.

Sycamore Bridges is working with our Kindness Council members All Scapes & Sizes and Barlion's Poultry, Fish & Seafood to provide entire Thanksgiving meals to 20 elementary school families. Thanks to their generosity, each family will receive a fresh turkey from Barlion's along with all the fixings, compliments of All Scapes & Sizes, to fill their tables during this long holiday break. Offering this type of support to our most vulnerable families while all of the kids are home from school brings relief to already stressed budgets. We are so grateful to these incredible businesses who choose to give back to their alma mater! No additional donations are needed.

Our incredible Kindness Council member, Spice Spice Baby Cincinnati, has generously donated a portion of their sales from the Sycamore Arts & Crafts Show to wipe away student lunch debt. We are so grateful for their continued partnership to make sure all students receive hot lunches without worry. Make sure to visit them online or at their booth at Painted Tree Boutiques to "spice" up your holidays. Their products make excellent gifts too! This donation will clear out balances for two families who have accumulated debt because of financial hardship, but do not currently qualify for free/reduced lunch plans. Offering this relief takes a huge burden off their backs. No additional donations are needed at this time.
