Empty Stockings 2025

Let's Make the Holidays Bright for Foster Kids! 


return unwrapped gifts labeled with the stocking # to one of our drop off locations below by December 18! 

Right now, roughly 700 children are in the care of the state through foster care in Yellowstone County. When the holidays roll around, so does the fear that there won’t be one for them.  

Yellowstone Valley Woman is hoping to make the holidays bright for these children, and we need your help. We’ve gathered up the names and wishes from some of these children to help make sure there is a present with their name on it under the tree.  

To sponsor a child this holiday, simply purchase the items in need and label the unwrapped gift with the child's name and stocking number listed below.

Additional Needs 

Child and Family Services has several children from Montana placed in group homes outside of the state of Montana. Some of these children do not have family support and at times can feel very isolated and lonely. These children are most often teenagers and rarely ask for much. The girls love to have items such as hairbrushes, hair ties, scented soaps and lotions, body spray and any nail polishes or any makeup items. The boys like any shower gels and body sprays/colognes. These children would also be so grateful for any size gift card from a store where they can shop online. (Target, Wal Mart, Amazon) As teens, they become very excited when they are able to shop for themselves and pick out items that interest them. Candy/snacks/chips are also very appreciated at this age and tends to brighten their day.  


Thank you so much for helping to make the holidays bright for foster children!
