ODESSA, TEXAS - Struggling families across Odessa need your donations to the Empty Stocking Fund to put a good holiday meal on the table and toys under the tree.
Lidia Great grandma raising two granddaughters, their mother is incarcerated
The 28th year of the Empty Stocking Fund opened last week with a goal of $100,000 and it won’t be met without your help.
Funds stay in Ector County and help needy families like that of Lydia, not her real name, a great grandmother raising two great granddaughters. Lydia barely makes ends meet with the mother of the girls in prison.
This family can be helped through the Empty Stocking Fund, an annual fundraising effort by the Odessa American and The Salvation Army. Empty Stocking Funds go for a good holiday meal and small gifts under the tree for needy seniors and children.

Donations to the Empty Stocking Fund may be mailed or delivered to the Odessa American, 700 N. Grant, Suite 800, Odessa or the Salvation Army Community Center, 810 E. 11th St.. ZIP codes for both are 79761.
