The Empty Stocking Fund provides each child with a new pair of shoes, a blanket, and an age-appropriate Christmas gift.
The items were available for pickup on Dec. 18, at Immanuel Baptist Church on Browning Acres Road in Corbin.
For safety reasons, the event was held as a drive-thru pickup this year just like it was last year.
“While we are not able to put together a party again this year because of COVID–19, we look forward to having a really big party next year,” said Empty Stocking Fund President Joe Caldwell.
Prior to the COVID–19 outbreak families were invited to a Christmas party.
In recent years, the party has been held at The Corbin Center.
Families were provided with a pizza lunch and treated to a movie at nearby Tri-County Cineplex.
