Calgary seniors in need treated to Christmas stockings [Video]

Volunteers at Calgary’s Unison at Kerby Centre are stuffing stockings for seniors in need this holiday season. 

Ashley Yeoman, the food security program manager at the facility, says the goal is to make up 150 stockings with a reserve of an additional 20 for the ‘Stuff a Stocking’ campaign.

“We have everything from practical things, personal care items,” she said. “Different treats, chocolates, coffee, tea, toques, mitts, games, puzzles, things like that, really anything that would go in a stocking for anyone.”

While Calgarians have chosen to shop for items, stuff a stocking and deliver it to the Kerby Centre, Yeoman says others have been dropping off a bundle of goodies for volunteers to use to fill empty stockings.

“People from all over the community have been calling us and asking us what they can do to help out,” she said. “We’ve really felt the community coming together, and we’ve had schools calling us. It’s incredible.”
