Community Service- Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children
November 3 – December 1
Winter 2025 SU-Wide Community Service Opportunity:
“Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children”
Delivery Deadline December 1st* … (Contact Janice at the email address at the bottom of the page)
Please join SU444 in continuing to support an incredible project that we’ve been involved with for over 15 years!
Many of items on the WishList may be unused items girls have around their home (like those toothbrushes from the dentist many of us never use… or left over toys from an unclaimed goody-bag at the last birthday party).
I encourage the girls to also collect from friends, family or neighbors… maybe print the list and staple it to paper bags that they give out around the neighborhood to be picked-up on a specific date.
This project also offers the opportunity for your troop, or individual girls/families to participate in person by helping Fill the Stockings that will be delivered to children at 70+ Shelters in the Puget Sound!!!
