Starting in the late 1800’s, school-age children would save their pennies all year long and put them in socks. Then, just before Christmas, they would take them to local schools. The principles would then take the coin-filled socks to the nearby orphanage to help children without families. This heartfelt giving provided each child with a new coat, hat, gloves, and a new toy. The children would wake up on Christmas morning to find that they had not been forgotten.
Since 2004 the Children’s Home Society has partnered with many businesses across to the state, selling a paper stocking for a $1.00. All proceeds stay in the communities where funds are raised and helps children we serve. Last year we assisted 24,667 children and families statewide.
