CELEBRATING THE ARTS
PAULA HORNER HCCARTS
The Hill Country Council for the Arts and the Cibolo Creek Quilters Guild created a great Community project for us -- Stuff the Stockings For the third year, these two organizations combined forces to create custom stockings, and stuff them full of personal items for some deserving women in the community.
On December 11, the stockings were delivered to the Kendall County Women’s Shelter and the Hill Country Pregnancy Center. The children are covered through other wonderful programs in the area, so we decided to pamper the moms and women.
The stockings were stuffed with goodies donated from local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individual community donors.
We are thankful for generous donations from Kendall County Roofing; Vintage Reconstruction; Penguin Suits Advertising Agency; Majestic Ranch Arts Foundation; Great Clips; Zen Den Massage, and Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries.
This year we were able to provide Stuffed Stockings to 150 deserving moms and women, in hopes of providing a bit of Christmas cheer. We intend to continue forward with the Stocking Stuffer project.
To contribute next year, and to make donations easier, we accept cash donations. You can Sponsor a stocking with a $100 donation by sending your check to HCCArts, c/o Stocking Stuffer Program, P.O. Box 2024, Boerne, Texas 78006; or by going to the website, www.hccarts.org, and donate online. All donations are tax deductible.
