Operation Christmas Train Set Foundation
All children deserve a train set
We are a 501 (c) 3 foundation
About Us
Dustin A. Fisher M.B.A. (CEO/Founder) began Operation Christmas Train Set Foundation (OCTSF) on October 15, 2014 to share his passion for model trains. Dustin goal for this organization is to help less fortunate children from the foster care system, low-income families, single-mother households, military/first responder homes, affected by natural disasters, and those with a terminal illness in our community at Christmas time.
Dustin began his community outreach by providing several train sets for two single mom’s and their children in his church, who were struggling financially at Christmas time. Due to the generous donations of others, OCTSF has been building train sets to give away to needy families in Oklahoma through partnerships with various organizations throughout the state.

Support our mission
Our focus has always been to serve children, who have already experienced difficulty in life. The children we provide for are in the foster care system, have a serious illness, come from a single mother household, or a low-income household. Children of military families and first responders constantly worry if their parents will return home, and that is a hard burden for a child. We believe it is all of our responsibility to care for children.
Dustin A. Fisher M.B.A. began Operation Christmas Train Set Foundation (OCTSF) on October 15, 2014. Since that time, we have been working very hard to let disadvantaged children know that at Christmas time, people will step in and give them a little joy in the mist of their challenges.
- We love trains and have given away over 8500 train sets.
- We understand that children also have other genuine needs. Therefore, we have provided warm clothing, school supplies, and other basic necessities.
- In 2019, we helped over 2000 children, which resulted in more than $35,000 of support given to children.
- While being in a pandemic in 2020, we understood that children needed displays of care and kindness, and we provided over $20,000 in gifts to children in need.
- Despite our country being in an economic downturn in 2021, we meet the needs of over 750 children for Christmas.
- Overall, since December of 2014 we have given away over 22,000 gifts, 200+ backpacks, and 100+ coats to over 5000 children locally.
However, our work is not finished. We are humbling asking for your help to continue our tradition of serving children during the time of year that can be very difficult for them when their families don’t have the resources to help make a happy Christmas memory. We are a registered and recognized organization by the Oklahoma State Secretary’s Office, and a 501(C)3 compliant Foundation. Our FEIN# is 47-4606808.
