Salvation Army Stockings - THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who helped fill a stocking or two for the local Salvation Army. It was greatly received. The Annapolis Salvation Army is so appreciative of the generosity of St. James' Parish. We filled and returned approximately 90 stockings this year. Our church is one of the largest donors. Your generosity has made a real difference in many children's lives.

Salvation Army Stockings

Salvation Army Stockings are now available. These stockings benefit local area children who are in need. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a child's life - and we need YOUR help! You can pick up stockings from the box in the foyer between the Parish Hall and the Education Building. Please leave your filled stockings there along with any extra items (placed in a grocery bag). Please do not include any fruit or candy and do not wrap the items (they will just have to be unwrapped before they can be given to the children). And, don't forget to label your stocking (or bag!) so we know for whom it is intended (boy, age 6-8 years; girl, age 10-12 years, etc.).

Please remember that stockings must be returned to the church no later than Sunday, December 2. For additional information, please contact Nola Meyers at noreme@verizon.net.
