Operation Stocking Stuffer

This is a program where we support parents by providing Christmas stockings for them to share with their children. Our goal is to brighten the holidays for families while they create lasting memories.

Last year, we provided over 1,600 stockings to parents in the community. We wouldn't be able to do this without our donors and volunteers!

To learn how to get involved in 2026, click here for a donation flyer or contact Lisa Ross: Lzross@ccsnn.org or 775-393-3882. Interested in volunteering? Visit our volunteer page.

A big thank you to Ranshu for donating all needed stockings in an age group for the 4th year in a row! This year they're providing stockings to the the 10-13 year girls.

OPERATION STOCKING STUFFER 2026

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. We've accepted registrations for nearly 1,500 children's stockings this year. If we have extras, they will be distributed on Monday, December 14, 2026 from 9:00am-12:00pm or until they run out. 641 E. 5th Street.

Operation Stocking Stuffer is a program for parents who need help providing Christmas presents for their children. Parents then have the opportunity to gift the stockings to their children on Christmas. 

Parents are only eligible for this program if they're not receiving Christmas help from another agency. This policy enables a greater number of families and children to receive holiday assistance.

  • Registration opens on November 2, 2026 at 9:00am*. 
  • This is a first come, first served program.
  • Registration will close when we've reached 1,400 children.
