On December 9, 2023, the organization People of Action Caring for Kids (PACK) held its annual PACK the Stocking Event in Savannah, Georgia. This festive gathering aims to provide essential holiday cheer and gifts to local children in need, ensuring that no child is left without support during the holiday season.
Community Engagement and Support
The event attracted hundreds of attendees, including families, volunteers, and local businesses. Participants gathered to fill stockings with toys, clothing, and other essential items, demonstrating a strong sense of community spirit. This year, PACK aims to distribute over 1,000 stocking filled with gifts to children across Savannah.
Local businesses also played a significant role in this year’s event, contributing both financially and through in-kind donations. Many local shops and organizations set up booths at the event, offering their products and services while encouraging attendees to donate to the cause. The collaborative effort between PACK and local businesses showcases how community partnerships can amplify the impact of charitable initiatives.
