The Giving Season: Stuffing Stockings for Our Community

We will be creating holiday cards and stuffing stockings for teens at the Eastern Panhandle Empowerment Center (EPEC), a community charity whose mission is to protect victims, prevent violence and empower survivors of domestic violence, amongst other harmful situations.

Charles Town Library will provide stockings for decoration as well as supplies for making cards. However, we need YOUR help stuffing the stockings with holiday goodies for teens in need.

EPEC suggests the following items based on teens’ requests in prior years:

- Lip gloss/chapstick

- Travel sized skin care items

- Nail polish

- Mini-LED lights

- Fun/patterned socks (such as Pop Socks)

- Hair accessories

- Bracelets

- Chocolate/candy/gum

- Stickers

- Earbuds/headphones

- Mini speakers

- Pins/buttons

- Phone chargers

- Mini journals

- Pens

- Fidget toys

Participants are strongly encouraged to bring one (or more!) of the above items. All donations will be delivered to EPEC *before* Christmas day.

We will also learn ways to help our community all year round. This program is recommended for ages 8+, but families are welcome!
