FAQs
- How can I collect items?
Through family and friends, youth groups, scout troops, children schools, place of employment, etc.
- I have a drop box location now what?
Inform PFWJ of the start and end date of your drop box so that we can help advertise for you. Make regular trips to your drop box to pick up items & to prevent overflow.
- What if I do not get enough items to complete stockings?
Contact PFWJ so that we can help guide you.
- Someone gave me cash for stocking supplies can they get a tax write off from PFWJ?
Unfortunately, PFWJ can only provide tax receipts for donations received directly to PFWJ.
- Do I have to have a drop box and how do I obtain a drop box?
Drop Boxes are not required. To get a drop box started contact local businesses/schools who would be willing to have you drop off a large, decorated cardboard box at their location.
- I received items that are too big for a stocking, what do I do?
Those items become a separate donation to whatever facility you are donating to and would not be counted as a stocking item.
- Are stockings age/gender specific?
Although not required, you are welcome to create a stocking for any age or gender.
- Can I make changes to the stocking content list?
Only with prior approval from PFWJ. We do have a separate infant/stocking content list, furnished upon request.
- Do I get to deliver to the children personally?
Due to privacy laws, the majority of deliveries are to a staff member at the facility.
- Can I change the flyer?
Please contact PFWJ for approval on any flyer changes.
- Can I decorate or make the stockings?
Unfortunately, all items must be new and undecorated
