Although Sulphur Springs Baptist Association hoped to collect 150 filled Christmas stockings this year for its missions project Stockings for Kids, area churches and individuals pulled together to donate 250 stockings to a food bank in Warrior.
The food bank, a ministry of Cane Creek Baptist Church, Warrior, will provide food for those in need Dec. 20 and also will distribute the gift-filled stockings to the families with children.
Kristi Turner, who serves as secretary/treasurer/clerk for Sulphur Springs Association, said the stockings are “absolutely filled” with anything from toys to socks to candy to toothbrushes.
The association also collected and donated new and used toys to Mission of Hope in Dora, a food bank and clothes closet ministry that also will distribute the gifts Dec. 20.
