From its first founding by Harry “Dutch” Ervin in 1912 to the new donation record season in 2021, the Empty Stocking Fund has supported countless good works. It is thanks to the tremendous contributions of the partners, sponsors, and volunteers that this labour of love has been able to do so much good and make a difference for children in need at Christmas time over the years.

The acquisition of Brunswick News by Postmedia has led to the unfortunate and perhaps unintended consequence of ending the  109 year old effort of bringing joy to so many on Christmas. 

Let’s bring the community together and let Postmedia know how vital a role this tradition plays for the families and children of our community. Especially in these challenging times it is more important than ever to reach out  for the benefit of those less fortunate.
