    OPERATION STOCKING STUFFER 2022

    Operation Stocking Stuffer is a program for parents who need extra help for Christmas presents for their children. Parents then have the opportunity to give the stockings to their children on Christmas. In order to avoid duplication, we ask that only one parent register their children.

    Distribution of stockings to parents will take place December 16 and 17, 2022.

    Registration is now full. If you did not register your children for Operation Stocking Stuffer and you're in need of help for your children this Christmas, please visit Toys for Tots reno-nv.toysfortots.org.

    Please note families should only be registered for one Christmas/holiday toy program per year.

    DONATING IS EASY AND BRINGS THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS TO LOCAL CHILDREN IN NEED
