We need your help to reach our $950,000 goal to bring holiday magic to 27,000 children.
Be Santa’s Helper.
Ask 5 friends for $35 each and you’ll fill 5 stockings.
Every gift is chosen by a parent or caregiver who knows their child best.
Families sign up with Empty Stocking Fund.
Each family uploads a current benefits statement.
Staff and volunteers review every application.
Once approved, parents and caregivers pick three gifts for each child from our online gift portal.
Volunteers pack every order at the ESF warehouse.
Families pick up their orders at a convenient location they choose from distribution sites across Greater Atlanta.
Your gift lets a parent or caregiver choose three holiday gifts for each child. Because Empty Stocking Fund buys toys at wholesale and closeout prices, every dollar goes further.
It's easy! Build your own fundraising page and ask 3–5 people — friends, family members, coworkers — to sponsor a family. Together we can exceed our goal and reach even more children.
Create a personal page or start a team below. It takes about two minutes.
Add a photo, set a personal goal, and share why this matters to you.
Share your link by email, text, or social and ask each person to sponsor a family ($105) or fill a stocking ($35).
Anyone can help fill a stocking: on your own, with your coworkers, or with your community.
Create a personal page and invite friends and family to give in honor of the season.
Rally your workplace around a team goal. Every $35 your team raises fills another stocking.
Schools, churches, clubs, and neighborhoods can team up to sponsor families together.
There are more ways to help fill a stocking.
