Soroptimists of South Lake Tahoe donate Christmas stockings to Live Violence Free

The Soroptimist International Club of South Lake Tahoe (SISLT) has helped make the holidays a bit brighter for the men and women served by Live Violence Free, the nonprofit committed to promoting a violence-free community.

Each year the SISLT club president chooses a "President's Project" to complete during their year of service. This year, Club President Louisa Boone decided her project would be to make Christmas Stockings for the 50 women and 10 men the agency serves. Stockings were filled with beanies, socks, teas, gift cards for the men, beauty supplies and jewelry for the ladies.

This week, Boone and some of her club members stopped by Live Violence Free (LVF) to donate the stockings which will be distributed by the agency next week.

At the beginning of the season there were 126 ornaments, each with a child's wish list inside. To find out more and donate gifts from the remaining lists, visit https://liveviolencefree.org/.
