Holiday Stockings
Holiday Stocking Project
Northwest Pilot Project
Buy or make a stocking and fill with delightful and practical items for the low income elderly. Stockings are particularly needed for men. You can wrap gifts or not. It is appreciated if the items are new or unused. Attach a list of the stocking gifts and indicate if it is for a man, woman or diabetic.
Call Dena at 503-478-6861 if you need to make a delivery when the office is closed.
