Empty Stocking Fund

The Gaston Gazette has partnered with The Salvation Army for decades to promote the Empty Stocking Fund. All the money that people contribute is used by the Salvation Army to buy food, clothing, toys and gift cards for families. Throughout this month, The Gazette will publish the names of donors and list their contributions.

Donations are to be made by check to The Salvation Army with the memo line noted as “Empty Stocking Fund.” Mail contributions should be sent to The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 1094, Gastonia, N.C., 28053.

The Gazette will provide regular updates on the campaign as it progresses. This year’s goal is $75,000.
