League, Company Stuff Stockings

     On December 4th, 2012, members of Charity League of Martinsville and Henry County and employees of Global Children’s Humanitarian Foundation gathered at Salvation Army Dreamland to fill 600 holiday stockings to benefit local underprivileged children ages 2-12 residing in the Martinsville and Henry County area.

     The Stocking Project is an annual project of Charity League of MHC and this year Global Children’s Humanitarian Foundation partnered with Charity League by contributing $3,000 to the project and helping to fill the stockings. All children received books, toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss, and other gifts such as crayons and coloring books, toys, personal hygiene items and winter accessories, depending on their age group. This year’s stocking project committee, comprised of April Haynes and Katie Muehleck, sent fundraising letters to local individuals and businesses, picked up donations, and ordered and organized the stocking stuffer items. League members contributed their time and money to assist with the project.

     Charity League of MHC and employees of Global Children’s Humanitarian Foundation are deeply grateful to all members, individuals, and businesses for their generous donations and support.
