Grandmas’ Stocking Guild
Grandmas’ Stocking Guild is forever changing lives!
Grandmas’ Stocking Guild was formed in 2009 in response to the need to ‘do something’ to help abused and neglected children in the Texas Hill country.
The children are THRILLED with their stockings. One little girl slept with hers every night. The girls at New Life Children’s Center hang theirs on their doors – until long after Christmas.

Saying Thank You …
A young man who had been in many different foster care situations in his life found himself in yet another new home. Upon arrival, his CASA volunteer presented him with his first GSG stocking. He was so very proud! “It was the first time he had ever received something like this!” It brought many happy smiles to him that day and through the holiday season!
