Christmas Stockings for Roseburg Veterans Hospital
-
Each December, we donate handmade stockings to Veterans at the Roseburg Veterans Hospital. We typically provide around 75 stockings each year.
-
To avoid the last-minute rush, we begin working on stockings in July.
-
Contact: Carri DeBolt for the stocking template.
-
Use your own fabric and style, or request fabric from our stash.
This project is a wonderful way to show appreciation and spread holiday cheer to those who have served.
✨ Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, and sewing skills to support our community and beyond!
