Helping Needy at Christmas

is WHY you should help.

Millions of children in America will go without Christmas stockings because their parents can't afford them. Financial and emotional stress dampen the Christmas cheer of families living in poverty. The Salvation Army brings happy

holidays to many through the Salvation Army Fill A Stocking Program.

Any Troop

is WHO can help.

The Salvation Army supplies the empty stockings to the Service Unit for distribution to participating troops. Some troops take 2-3 or 10-12 stockings to fill as a troop while other troops have each girl fill 1 stocking individually. Troops can make it a shopping outing to purchase the items with either troop funds or with each girl bringing her own money.
