Donors and the amounts given include: Johnny and Donna Woods – $100 Anonymous – $1,500 Anonymous (Friend of Tipton Family) – $100 Cloyd & Associates, PSC – $500 Hamlin & Kersey – $500 West Corbin Christian Church – $100 Corbin Chiropractic – $300 Tim and Deirdre Barnes – $100 Jo Ellen Rains (In memory of Paul Rains) – $100 Greg and Suzanne Razmus – $250 John Whittaker – $75 Danny and Marsha Barnett – $50 Earthworks & Machinery LLC – $2,000 Interstate Construction Products Inc. – $2,000 Little Caesars Pizza – $250 Pratts Landscaping – $3,000 The Empty Stocking Fund provides each child with a new pair of shoes, a blanket, and an age-appropriate Christmas gift. The items were available for pickup on Dec. 18, at Immanuel Baptist Church on Browning Acres Road in Corbin. For safety reasons, the event was held as a drive-thru pickup this year just like it was last year. “While we are not able to put together a party again this year because of COVID–19, we look forward to having a really big party next year,” said Empty Stocking Fund President Joe Caldwell. Prior to the COVID–19 outbreak families were invited to a Christmas party. In recent years, the party has been held at The Corbin Center. Families were provided with a pizza lunch and treated to a movie at nearby Tri-County Cineplex.
