Help the Saint Augustine Stocking Elves fill gifts
The Saint Augustine Stocking Elves is accepting monetary and Amazon Wish List donations for their annual mission of stuffing stockings for St. Johns County's kids and teens in need. Founded in 2022, the donation-based organization supports residents through monetary donations and items purchased from the Stocking Elves Amazon Wish List. Stocking Elves assists local children and residents of the Betty Griffin Center , Seamark Ranch , Port in the Storm, Safe Families for Children, Fostering Connections and St. Augustine's United Way of St. Johns and Putnam Counties . "Local businesses, families, friends and kids come together to contribute in different ways," Libby Morin, founder for the county's club told the St. Augustine Record. "No one could do this alone. This is our community taking care of our community." Morin said that the stocking stuffing event (date remains TBD) is led by kids "so that the next generation can learn firsthand the joy of giving back." "Together, we’re making the season brighter, one stocking at a time," she said. Items needed for the stockings include basic toiletries (body wipes, nail clippers, shampoo, soap, deodorant, hairbrushes etc.), hats, gloves, socks, snacks (jerky, gum, chips), gift cards including Starbucks, Chic fil-A and Chipotle,
