Empty Stocking Fund to Accept Applications

The Empty Stocking Fund will begin taking applications on Thursday, offering a chance for families in need to receive assistance during the holiday season.

For one local mother, Stephanie Hall, the fund was a lifeline last year, allowing her to provide Christmas presents for her four children. As a single mother, Hall struggled to make ends meet, saying

“With me doing everything by myself as a single mother, and paying all the bills by myself, I really don’t have any money left over”
. The Empty Stocking Fund helped her provide a joyful Christmas for her kids.

Hall encourages other families to apply, even if they are hesitant, saying

“the help is there”
. Her experience with the fund brought a sense of accomplishment, as she was able to see her children happy on Christmas morning.

This year, the Empty Stocking Fund will again offer support to families in need, and applications will be accepted starting Thursday.
