The Empty Stocking Fund | NABA Atlanta
Tis the Season to Give Back!
Volunteer with the NABA - Atlanta Community Affairs Committee Today!
About The Empty Stocking Fund
Since 1927, The Empty Stocking Fund brings the spirit of Christmas to thousands of children throughout the metro Atlanta each year. The Empty Stocking Fund empowers metro Atlanta parents and guardians of children living in poverty by providing them with an opportunity to give their children gifts at Christmas time.
Through relationships with wholesale distributors, The Empty Stocking Fund purchases brand new items in sufficient quantities to offer a variety of age- and gender-appropriate choices. In December, we invite qualified parents and guardians of children up to 12 years old to visit Santa's Village and select gifts for their children.
The Empty Stocking Fund only has two full-time employees. Without the generous support of our sponsors, individual donors and volunteers, none of this would be possible. There are several ways to support The Empty Stocking Fund's fundraising efforts and all donations are tax deductible.
For more information, please contact Peggy Ludaway or Nicole Winston at communityaffairs@nabaatlanta.org
