Empty Stocking Fund

Tucker Parks and Recreation has partnered with the Empty Stocking Fund to distribute gifts to over 1,000 families this winter season.

Empty Stocking Fund and Tucker Parks & RecreationUnlike many nonprofits that distribute holiday gifts to disadvantaged children, ESF allows parents to choose which toys and gifts they want to give their children and to give the gifts to them however and whenever they choose. For decades, parents were invited to come to Santa’s Village, our toy and gift store, to shop for their children’s gifts. In an effort to keep our staff, volunteers and the families we serve safe during the pandemic, Santa’s Village has gone digital! Now parents can register their children, upload proof of benefits, and shop online from any web-enabled device. Orders will be picked and packed at the warehouse facility in SE Atlanta and parents may choose to pick their gifts up there or at one of the distribution partner events, like Tucker Recreation Center.

Parents or legal guardians of metro area children who are receiving any form of public assistance are able to receive FREE holiday gifts for their children.

Parents that choose Tucker as the pick-up site will arrive on a scheduled day and time. Our volunteers will scan the parent's QR code and locate the family’s package which are labeled with a tag.
