Dear 2024 "Stockings For Soldiers" Friends:
THANK YOU♥ THANK YOU...Volunteers.
We had such a Fabulous time working with you all. It was so much FUN working in our new Stocking Store. THANK YOU to our wonderful Team Leaders and wonderful volunteers who worked so hard together to accomplish so much for our members of the military deployed all over the world. THANK YOU to all our fabulous volunteers who helped us to have such a terrific 21st Year of sending our special stockings to our wonderful troops so they will know that the great folks in Delaware and all over America are thinking of them. THANKS so much everyone for all your donations, contributions, hard work, good will, kindness, patience, smiles, sense of humor and volunteer Spirit. We ALL worked together and it was fabulous. We are so extremely grateful to the great folks of Acadia Realty Trust Corp who allowed us to work in such a fabulous space!! Thank you Ashley, Karalynn, John, and Steven. Yeay!!!
Our 21st Annual "Stockings For Soldiers" community project was a wonderful success. This year, we were able to send 8,500 special stockings to our troops. We're so proud to know that so many of our brave members of the military will know how much we respect and appreciate all they are doing for our Great Country.
Our 2024 Official Stats: Over 1,500+ Volunteer Elves - sent over 8,500 homemade Christmas stockings and our boxes weighed a total of 31,000 pounds. Our fabulous volunteers came from Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and surrounding areas and from ALL over America, great folks joined with us. In addition, we sent over 8,500 Star Packs and over 1,500 knitted hats with great thanks to our wonderful knitting volunteers working with Chari and "Warmth For Warriors". We also sent over 8,500 personal greeting cards and many hundreds of letters of appreciation from children from many, many schools.
We sent over 1,000 boxes, filled with all the great Goodies that you all donated for the stockings. This year, our stockings went to our troops in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Djibouti, United Arab Emirates, Poland, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Hungary, the DMZ in Korea, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and several US Border towns in Texas. In addition, our stockings went to servicemen and women on the USS Truman, USS Stockdale, and the USS Delaware, a nuclear submarine. We also sent 10 boxes to our K9 Soldiers in Iraq and Kuwait. We can never forget our canine heroes. We sent our boxes to 42 different zip codes and supported 81 different groups who requested our stockings.
Our Stocking project was such a Team Effort. Each person has played a very important part in its success. We could not have succeeded without everyone's help. Sincere Thanks go to all our 1,500+ kind and generous local volunteers and our great friends who live far from here, but who have sent us their donations and contributed greatly to the success and completion of this community project.
At the bottom of this post are a few of the notes of appreciation received back from our troops. All of their notes will be posted under the "Thank You's" section of our website.
At this time, I would like to mention just a few of our special Friends: I appreciate everything that all of you did to work so hard, so quickly, so efficiently and so successfully. I know our troops are so grateful and were so happy to receive our Goodies. Because of our combined efforts, we were able to touch the hearts of Eight Thousand of our most precious young men and women who are bravely Serving their Country.
Thank You so very much to the generous and wonderful owners of our working location in the Brandywine Town Center. We are very grateful to the terrific folks at The Acadia Realty Corp ♥ who allowed us to use their fabulous space for our project once again this year.

This wonderful group of folks in all 3 Delaware counties set up collection boxes at many locations for our project. We are grateful to Ann Gorrin and her great Team in Sussex County and the teams in New Castle and Kent counties for all their great assistance. They allowed so many people to make so many donations, and to feel like they were participating with something special for our U.S. Service Members. So many wonderful volunteers made a tremendous amount of donations. It was such an important part of project. In addition, we had so many wonderful Sussex Country residents who worked so hard for our troops. Special THANKS to Marianne & Carl Sheran and T.J. Healy for spearheading so many collection drives.

Our sincere THANKS go to over 1,500+ hard working volunteers who came to our Stocking Store to donate their time, purchase Goodies for our troops, donate needed funds and who brought a cheerful, happy-to-help attitude. Thank You to all these new friends and to our dedicated Team Leaders who maintained the continuity needed throughout the week and who worked so hard to keep this community project going. Our community endeavor was tremendously successful because friendly folks of like-minded attitudes all worked together, beautifully, to achieve such a high level of success and cooperation.

I wanted to reach out to say thank you so much for the handmade stocking and care package items! I appreciate it so much! Thank you again and thank you for supporting us while we’re deployed during the holidays and making things a little brighter! |
Good morning, Judy. I hope and pray all is well. Please find the below pictures from our Christmas Stocking distro. With your help, we were able to pass out stockings to our entire Battalion. Keep in mind, my Battalion is the largest in theater over three different sites. Thank You so much! Chaplain Wood | ![]() |
Dear Ms. Travis (Chief Elf-in-Charge),
I just wanted to thank you and your team for the stockings and supplies that we received here in Germany. As the Senior Logistician for Task Force Independence, I know how much planning and effort go into doing a mission like this. The personalized stockings and messages were a wonderful surprise and brightened the holidays for all of us. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate the work and good wishes you and your team provided us while we are away from our homes and families.
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2025!
Sincerely, Major Jed V. Brigade Sustainment Officer
I wanted to give a quick thank you message for the holiday care packages that were received at this base in Jordan. Much appreciated!
Happy holidays! Gregory M. CW2 USARMY 310 ESC (USA)
Hi Judy,
Greetings from the Texas border! I just wanted to send out a quick note to say thanks for all the stockings. Our soldiers out here were ecstatic when they arrived. You and your little elves have brightened our day tremendously. I know a good number of our troops were unable to go home for the holidays and knowing that you and your kiddos were thinking of us brings joy to us all. Please pass on our appreciation to them as well. From the soldiers in the Tactical Support Company of Operation Lonestar in El Paso, Texas… We Salute You. SSG Erin C. OLS-TFW_TSC Supply NOCIC |

I’m sitting here in the Horn of Africa, preparing to spend Christmas away from my wife and 2 children back home. Most of the time, we’re busy enough that it’s easy to keep your mind from thinking about what we’re missing. However, at the end of the day when it’s quiet in my room, it can be hard.
Today was nice though. I was given your stocking and bag of goodies. I’ve got it hanging in my room as I listen to Christmas music. I plan on opening the stocking on Christmas morning :)
I’m thankful that people like you remember us as we’re deployed.
Again, thank you. It really does mean a lot.
CPT Tim K. 204th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade Salt Lake City, Utah serving in Horn of Africa
This is a special note from a few years ago:
Judy Travis and all,
Greetings from overseas! Thank you for the thoughtfulness and cheer you have brought to many here. The messages and beauty will remain with us throughout the year. I am especially fond of the individual expressions, and warmth conveyed throughout, the care is brightly sincere.
Thank you for passing on the light.
V/R and best, Elizabeth B.
This is a special note from a few years ago:
Good morning Judy Travis,
I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for you and all of those who helped put together the Christmas Stockings for my soldiers. Every soldier was ecstatic to receive a personal stocking which had their name on it. For many soldiers, this was the only gift they received, and it meant so much to them. Please share with all of those involved in this wonderful organization you have, that we appreciate all that you do to support us oversees. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and may God continue to bless you all!
Very Respectfully, Charles B., CPT, AV, HHC Commander, 1-10 ARB
Again, this is a Special note from a few years ago:
"... Any little act of kindness goes a long way and we all greatly appreciate you (all) and all of the time and effort you put into making these packages. I personally had grown up in Foster Care and I have never had a stocking before let alone one with my name on it. My appreciation to you (all) can not be explained in words. My wife had sent a package but it will not be here before Christmas. I am excited now that I have something that I can open on Christmas. Thank you..." J.G.

Because of your wonderful generosity, we can ask for less stockings for 2025.
A special THANK YOU to all our amazing sewing volunteers. YES - We still need stockings for 2025 but we have many stockings leftover from last year, so we can ask for less stockings, but YES, please be sure to sew stockings for us in 2025. Be sure to check your sewing patterns to make sure that the finished stockings measure 15" by 9" wide. PLEASE send them to us as early as you can, after October 6th, 2025.
We would like to receive all stockings by Oct. 24th 2025.
Please mail ALL packages to: Stockings For Soldiers, 1911 Foulk Road, Wilmington, DE 19810
We will be sending support to our troops as long as they are deployed in Service to America.
And we hope you will remember, for some of these troops, our personalized stocking was the only gift they received for Christmas.
This special photo was received a few years ago.
The "wandering camels" make us smile.
Please remember to keep our troops & their families in your thoughts & prayers

With much appreciation and gratitude and hope to see you all next October 2025.
