The IR’s annual Empty Stockings feature will be printed in the IR on Sunday, Nov. 29.

Through Empty Stockings, local nonprofit organizations and agencies can present their holiday Wish List to the community. These wish lists are for donations of items such as food, dishes, furniture, clothes, school supplies, toys and other necessities and indulgences.

The Helena area’s overwhelming response to these requests and to Toys for Tots makes the holiday season brighter for many individuals and families in the Helena area who need a helping hand.

If your organization or agency has not yet been contacted but would like to be included, e-mail Leah Gilman at leah.gilman@
