Christmas Stockings for Angeline House

Monday, November 16th, 2009

For several years now, the members of Emerald City Business & Professional Women (ECBPW) stuff 300 Christmas stockings for the homeless women served by Angeline House – a women’s day shelter in the Belltown neighborhood. This year is no different.

The stockings are filled with toiletries, socks, gloves, and goodies. Their goal is to give these women a little something special at this wonderful time of year. “We want them to know that they are not forgotten,” says a ECBPW representative. “For so many of these women, this is their holiday.”

The ECBPW members have donated many of the items necessary. Due to the large number that they are filling, they are asking members of our community for help. If you would like to donate goods, time, or funds to this rewarding project, they would appreciate your help!

Goods they need include: socks and scarves, individually packaged goodies…candy, chips, cookies, nuts, hot chocolate or specialty teas, paperback books, individual beauty and hygiene items, and, of course, jewelry! Contact me to coordinate your donation at vijya@vijya.com or 206-418-6260.

Want to feel like Santa? Volunteers are needed on Monday, December 14th to help fill the stockings. They’ll be meeting at the Best Western Executive Inn in Seattle at 5:45pm. I’ll be there and hope you can join me!

To make a cash donation, checks may be made out to ECBPW Foundation (a non-profit 501(c)3; #37-1423219) and sent to ECBPW Foundation, c/o Dolores Gohndrone, 1511 3rd Ave #520, Seattle WA 98101.
