Empty Stocking Fund to Accept Applications

The Empty Stocking Fund is set to take applications on Thursday, providing assistance to local families in need.

For one local mother of four, the fund was a lifeline last year. Stephanie Hall, a single mother, utilized the fund to provide Christmas presents for her children.

“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,”

Hall said.

“With the (Empty) Stocking Fund, it helped me to be able to have that completed for my kids.”

The fund allowed Hall to provide a joyful Christmas for her children, giving her a sense of accomplishment. Hall encourages other families to apply, saying

“the help is there.”
