For more than 90 years, The Empty Stocking Fund of the CSRA has been a cornerstone of holiday giving in our community. This season, the need is greater than ever—and we need your support to ensure every child in the CSRA experiences the joy and wonder of the holidays. Many families are still working to regain stability after the government shutdown, while also facing rising costs and ongoing financial strain. For these parents, holiday gifts may feel impossible. But your generosity can change that. Together, we can make sure every child wakes up to the magic of the season with gifts to unwrap.

While several holiday gift programs exist across the region, the Empty Stocking Fund stands apart. We empower parents by allowing them to choose the perfect gifts for their children. Through our online e-store, parents can register, shop for their children, and then pick up the gifts from one of two convenient locations: the Boys & Girls Club Headquarters at Hub East or Augusta Technical College in Waynesboro.

A donation of $35 provides nearly $100 worth of gifts for one child—a meaningful impact that brings hope and joy to families who need it most. This year, we anticipate serving more families than ever before, and your support is critical in helping us meet this increased demand.

Please consider donating today. Every contribution—no matter the size—makes a direct and lasting difference for local children. You can donate easily and securely at www.emptystockingfundcsra.org. Donations will appear as “Community Foundation for the CSRA” on your statement. If you prefer, contributions may also be mailed to: Empty Stocking Fund, PO Box 31358, Augusta, GA 30903.

For over 90 years, The Empty Stocking Fund has remained committed to ensuring that no child in the CSRA goes without holiday gifts. With your help, we can continue this tradition of generosity and bring joy to families throughout our community.
