Empty Stocking Fund, Dec. 23, 2020
Who you’ve helped this year: A Santa Fe woman was concerned about how she would keep her family warm. “We are expecting winter any time. I have a 2-year-old little boy and have no heating in my home,” she wrote in her request for assistance. The Empty Stocking Fund bought her a pallet of pellets to heat her home.
How it works: Applications for funding are carefully vetted. Members of the Empty Stocking Committee review requests and meet with each qualifying applicant to examine records of outstanding bills or other needs, and to verify the applicant’s income. If a request is approved, the committee sends a check directly to the service supplier. The cap for most requests is $1,000.
2020 goal: $275,000
