This year, 500 volunteers are needed to stuff 2,000 Christmas stockings for children who might otherwise go without holiday cheer. In addition to stuffing stockings, participants will make:
- Friendship bracelets for children in hospitals
- Blankets for individuals in need of warmth
- Snack bags for children in foster care
Volunteers are also encouraged to bring unopened packs of children’s undergarments or fun Band-Aids—high-demand items for shelters and hospitals.
