Each year, as part of our holiday meal, Loaves & Fishes offers each of our guests a Christmas stocking. To do this, we ask the community to participate by providing stockings (approximate size: 14-16 inches long and 6-8 inches wide) with the following items:
- McDonald's $5.00 Gift Certificate Books
- One par of new socks, one size fits all
- One set of stretch/knit hat and gloves
- Disposable razors (adult stockings only)
- A pair of shoelaces
- Chapstick
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- A deck of cards
- Travel-size toiletry items (lotions, Vaseline, conditioners, shampoos)
Please make deliveries to our warehouse at: 1321 North C Street
Warehouse holiday hours are:
Weekends Dec. 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th – 8:00am to 3:00pm
Weekdays Dec. 7th – 24th – 7:00am to 4:00pm
To assist our planning, we would appreciate stockings being delivered by December 23.
