Dear Editor:
The Effingham County Empty Stocking Fund is ready to receive donations for 2024. The venerable charitable initiative helps local families celebrate the holiday season by providing toys, gifts, and essential supplies for children in need.
Applications for support will be accepted at the United Way of Effingham County, 711 Zitterour St., Rincon from Nov. 20-22 from 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. All Effingham County residents who are in need may participate in the program.
As a convenience, contributions to the fund may be made at any Truist Back, Renasant Bank or Newington Bank in Effingham County.
We believe that everyone wants a happy and merry Christmas for everyone and this is your chance to follow the belief that those who can must do for those who cannot. The joy of giving is a spirit we all share during this blessed time of the year.
Thanks,
Effingham County Empty Stocking Committee
