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.

 
Please contact Dena Chilikos, Volunteer Coordinator with questions at 503-478-6861.
