YWCA’s “Stockings of Hope” campaign underway

Nov 28, 2017 | 12:15 PM

LETHBRIDGE – YWCA Lethbridge & District’s annual Stockings of Hope campaign is now underway.

Stockings of Hope is a gifting campaign that helps bring the joys of the holiday season, and hopes for the future to women and children most in need in the community.

A release states these are families who are currently using YWCA programs and resources, or who have used these resources in the past year. The recipients are prioritized based on need.

Stockings are hung on the fireplace in the YWCA lobby, and included on each stocking is a wish-list for each particular woman, as well as information about gender, age, and size for any of her children.

There are also stockings for the YWCA’s “critical needs” – items used by the agency’s clients throughout the year.

Any residents or businesses interested in getting involved can stop by the YWCA to adopt a stocking.

They can purchase some, or all of the gifts on the wish-list, and then return the gifts – unwrapped – to the YWCA on or before Dec. 15.
