ODESSA, TEXAS - Generous donations today have changed the 2022 total raised so far from $0 to $10,150! The 28th year of the Empty Stocking Fund started last week with a $100,000 goal to meet the needs in our community.

Funds stay in Ector County and help needy families. The Empty Stocking Fund, an annual fundraising effort by the Odessa American and The Salvation Army, will continue through Dec. 17. Empty Stocking Funds go for a good holiday meal and small gifts under the tree for needy seniors and children.

The Empty Stocking Fund was created by the Odessa American in 1995 and has raised more than $2.1 million.
