The Empty Stocking Fund is set to take applications on Thursday, providing an opportunity for families in need to receive Christmas presents.
For one local mother of four, the Empty Stocking Fund was a lifeline last year. Stephanie Hall, a single mother, utilized the fund to provide Christmas presents for her children, aged 10, 8, 5, and 1.
“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,”
“With the (Empty) Stocking Fund, it helped me to be able to have that completed for my kids.”
Hall encouraged other families to take advantage of the Empty Stocking Fund, saying
“the help is there”.
