Giving back one stocking at a time
The Mayor’s Youth Council of Gulfport is sending a little Christmas joy into the community.
Members spent the evening stuffing stockings to give to residents at the Driftwood Nursing Center. The stockings are filled with toothpaste, crossword puzzles, a deck of cards, and so much more.
The Youth Council partnered with the Memorial Foundation to make this project possible. Mayor Youth’s Council President Lilly Marquez said, “This is actually the first service project we’ve done together as the Mayor’s Youth Council. We thought it would be a unique opportunity. It’s something here on the Gulf Coast that’s like uplifting and outreaching right here in our own community.”
The 126 stockings will be delivered on December 23rd.
