Twenty Empty Stocking Fund volunteers were busy Sunday, Dec. 18 as more than 400 Christmas hampers were distributed and more than over 600 toys were provided to area children.
Executive Director Erin Katerynych says some drove hamper recipients home, others handed out the food and toys, some helped carry the hampers out to vehicles and the rest continued to bring food forward for a continuous supply and empty boxes to the back for recycling.
“Loraas allowed us to drop off all the recycling free of charge,” Katerynych says.
Earlier in the week, the EMS Elves packed their ambulances full of toys dropped off at their main office and also drove over to Walmart where they picked up $1,000 worth of toys donated by the corporation.
