Mondays through Thursdays in the evenings only Over the next nine weeks, collecting the needed goodies, sorting all the donations, stuffing the stockings with goodies, boxing them and shipping them to troops in the remotest regions of the world. Previously, our boxes have gone to Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Israel, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Kosovo, Romania, Poland, Djibouti, Chad, South Korea and parts unknown.
Last year, over 1200 great volunteers helped us to mail out 1,050 boxes packed with over 9,000 homemade, personalized Christmas Stockings that were filled with 32,000 pounds of goodies.
Please remember that the BEST way to help us is to purchase the goodies for the stockings. Please hold a collection drive to help us to get enough goodies for the stockings.
We are very blessed to have so many volunteers sew stockings for us. Please be sure to get your sewn stockings to us by October 31st so we can prepare them for stuffing in early November. THANK YOU all so very much for all you do for our troops and our community project.
