​Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children
The number of homeless youths continues to increase every year and we strive to ensure that every child gets dental supplies, clean socks, warm gloves hats, books and toys and knows that people care about them.  The organization provides and delivers handmade Holiday Stockings to homeless children ages birth to 17 years living in and out of shelters in the Puget Sound Area.

WE DID IT
No one likes change but we did it this year by moving our entire operation to our new location at SeaTac Marine. We had an impressive crew of 350 volunteers stuff 5009 stockings for children in 123 different shelters. This is an increase of 303 stockings and seven shelters.
