The 19th annual Stockings For Kids program gets underway next week.
Stockings For Kids is an initiative sponsored by the merchants of Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall and Century Group and supported by the South Delta community.
The project makes an appeal to the community to help sponsor a stocking, fill it with appropriate new gifts and return it to the mall for distribution by Deltassist Family and Community Services. There are over 300 stockings available for adoption this year.
Stockings can be picked up during Adopt a Stocking Day on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. inside the mall near Centre Stage Accessories. Participants will be asked to choose what age and gender they would like to fill a stocking for (example: Girl, age 4) and return the filled stocking to the Smoke Pop Shop by Monday, Nov. 30.
The greatest need this year is for infants and children nine to 16.
Those wishing to participate, but are unable to attend Adopt a Stocking Day are invited to call the mall's promotions office at 604-943-1735 after Nov. 7 to make alternative pick up arrangements.
Families wishing to register for Toy Depot assistance can call Deltassist at 604-594-3455 or 604-946-9526.
