Stocking Stuff

I get to work with some amazing college students. Really. Generous, compassionate, mission-minded college students. Students wanted to do something for the kids at Inner City Mission. They get lots of donations at xmas, but apparently, they don't ever get stockings. So, students decided to do a Stocking Stuff for the 24 kids at the mission, bringing toys, games, jewelry, chapstick, socks, candy....tons of stuff for the kids' xmas stockings!

College students, especially this generation, often get a bad rap.....(maybe it has something to do with the fact that if you invite them to a potluck, 90% bring a bag of chips :)) But these students blew me away on Friday night - - and the kids are gonna love it!!
