12 Days of Xmas

December 27, 2012 by caroline

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a full series of words could accompany these snap shots. From the moment, fashion designer, Nancy Perreault emailed the pattern for this year’s Xmas stocking to Christmas eve when the last stocking was handed out, we have been busy. Our wonderful volunteer elves have been sewing, decorating, stuffing and delivering xmas stockings to women and youth around the lower mainland. 1600 stockings were created and handed out. The smiles, the laughter and joy helped create and fill each stocking was felt by our ladies as they were handed out.

One of our favourite stocking stories this year:

“I held a stocking to her. She reached in to pick something out of the stocking and said, “thank you.” I realized she thought she was allowed one item from the stocking and told her that the whole stocking was for her. The smile that covered her face was huge!”

Huge thank you to Danielle and Ashley from Gastown Physio, Carrie and Jamen from Carrie Wheeler Entertainment Group, Stephanie Wong, Nancy Perreault, Blair Lockhart, Tritech Fabrics, AG Hair, London Drugs, Eminence Organics, Reel Curtains, Vital Health, YWIB SFU, Prettier in Green, Love Church, York House School, Ecole Sherwood, Eastside Fitness, and all of our amazing volunteers and sponsors who made this possible.
