The program is for children of parents, who need the group’s help at Christmas time.

The program is available to families in Corbin and the tri-county area, including communities surrounding Corbin, such as, North Corbin, Keavy, Lily, Gray, Lynn Camp, Woodbine, Rockholds, Oak Grove and Tattersall.

The Empty Stocking Fund is an annual effort that provides each child with a new pair of shoes, a blanket and an age-appropriate Christmas gift.
