For 96 years, the Little Red Stocking Fund has provided hope and support for North Carolina children and families.

The holidays are a time for families – reminiscing about old memories and making new ones. Sadly, for the more than 11,000 children living in foster care, the holiday season is vastly different, with feelings of loss, confusion, and isolation as they hope for reunification or adoption.

When you make a gift to Little Red Stocking over the holidays, you are making a difference year-round by educating families to keep them intact, supporting children and families through transitions, and creating new families.

To help ensure every child has the right to a permanent, safe, and loving family, donate to Little Red Stocking today.

You can give a child a loving family.
