Operation Christmas Stockings for the local families in need was a success!
This past December, the 4-H Orcas Island Trailblazer Club, stuffed over 100 stockings for local families. Through the Food Bank we got ages of local children on the Island in need of some Christmas Cheer, so we gave them stockings with a holiday box of food, from the food bank.
A special thanks to Mary Minnis, for making the beautiful stockings. Also a special thanks to the following people, who donated money or gifts for these stockings: Orcas Lions Club, The Kiwanis Club, Dr. Brenda Ivans, Dr. Stephen Bailey, Girl Scout Troop #172, and the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, for a place to work. So thank you from the bottom of the 4-H hearts to everyone who made this possible!
