making a difference in the lives of children

Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children is an annual U.S. Coast Guard family and community friends effort to provide and deliver handmade Holiday Stockings filled with new gifts and useful essentials to homeless children ages birth to 17 years living in and out of shelters in the Puget Sound Area.

Thank you volunteers!

This year was a huge success! Over 600 volunteers came and filled over 3335 stockings. They are now being delivered to 90 shelters from Everett to Tacoma.  We would like to thank everyone who supported us throughout the year.   If we didn't have the support from our businesses and volunteers this would not happen.  Thanks for giving the spirit of Christmas away to the homeless children in 2009.
