Your support made it possible
To the Editor:
The words “thank you” do not even begin to express the gratitude that all of us at Red Stocking feel for all of you who supported us this year! As with every group this year, we needed to reimagine many facets of our organization, given the pandemic from fundraising to website development, to an online application process, and a completely different distribution process. It was an undertaking we were not sure we could accomplish, but with the enormous outpouring of support from our Island community near and far, we were able to make the magic happen once again for 336 Island children. For this, Red Stocking is eternally grateful.
