99 Stocking & 35 Stocking Project Updates

 

All we need is love ...

...well, okay, we could also use 65 more gift cards.

 

What an amazing community! Thanks to members of the Pierce County Coalition to End Homelessness, students at Stadium High School (and a strong network of family and friends), we have collected almost everything needed for the 99 Stocking Project (for guests at the Tacoma Stability Site) and the 35 Stocking Project (for guests at the Young Adult Shelter). You can check our Google sheets to see everything that has already been contributed.

STILL NEED:

All that remains to complete the project on or before December 23rd  is:

 

65 ($10) gift cards (We are already more than half way there!)

Thank you to those who already contributed a total of 69 gift cards!

Note: If you wish to make a cash donation, see note below. If you prefer to purchase a gift card yourself, the favorite gift cards are for places with locations downtown, hilltop, or with easy access via public transportation. Some suggestions:

 

  • Starbucks, Red Elm, or other coffee shop with Wi-Fi
  • Grocery store
  • Fast food/inexpensive food restaurant
  • Thrift store
  • Department store

Text Box: Financial contributions for purchase of gift cards can be made to New Connections, a 501c3 non-profit agency in Tacoma. There are no administrative costs for this project; 100% of contributions designated “for holiday stockings” will be used to fill the stockings. Any excess supplies will be used for similar projects such as the Guadalupe House Christmas Bag Project. Every little bit helps!
