Annual Stocking Stuffer Drive
Four Years of Giving. Countless Reasons to Smile.
About
The
Drive
Over the past 3 years, we’ve brought joy to 123 families, ensuring that children experience the magic of the season regardless of their circumstances. Thanks to the generous contributions of our community and partnerships with organizations like Childs Play Foundation, Bank of America, and COTS Peggy Place we’ve been able to provide stockings filled with toys, books, school supplies, and more. Each stocking represents not just a gift but a reminder that they are supported by our Village.
