The Friends of Oakley Community Foundation will begin registering families for its annual Christmas Basket Program next week.

In its fourth year, the program provides holiday meals and toys to Oakley families in need. Meal boxes include a turkey, fresh bread and vegetables, and nonperishable food items such as instant mashed potatoes and canned cranberry sauce. Wrapped toys are provided to each child 18 and under.

Registration takes place at the Oakley White House Community Annex, 204 Second St., on Tuesday, Nov. 15 and Wednesday, Nov. 16 from 4 to 7 p.m.; and Saturday, Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

As proof of Oakley residency, families must bring a California driver’s license or identification card and either a water or power bill with the family name on it. One family meal will be provided per residence. Approved families will be given a pick-up time for the distribution event, scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 18.
