(frequently asked questions)

What if I have more than I need to fill the stocking?
If you have purchased more than you need, pick-up another stocking when you go to drop off your others and fill it there.
If you do not have enough left to fill a stocking, you may simply drop off the extras with the stocking. These items
can be used later to fill more stockings.

What ages have the most need?

older age groups.

Where do I drop off my stocking?

How much or how little should I put in my stocking?
Each filled stocking is valued at approximately $15.00 to $20.00. Use this range as your guide. However, you are not obligated to
provide gifts within this range…you can be as generous or as thrifty as you want or need to be.

What do I do with empty stockings that were not filled?
Please return any empty stockings that did not get filled. This action will help offset the cost to The Salvation Army next year.

Can I donate used toys and items to this program?

programs that benefit from used items. Contact The Salvation Army today or visit http://www.uss.salvationarmy.org/richmond to find
out more about these other worthwhile programs.

Can my presents be wrapped?

Do I have to put a topper on my stocking?

also keeps the toys in the stocking so that nothing is lost.
