About the Empty Stocking Club

Established in 1918 by the wives of reporters, the Empty Stocking Club has transformed from a small initiative refurbishing old toys into a vital charitable organization. This nonprofit, associated with the Wisconsin State Journal, is dedicated to ensuring that every child in Dane County and surrounding areas receives a new toy during the Christmas season.

Impact of the Empty Stocking Club

In 2023, the Empty Stocking Club made a remarkable impact by distributing nearly 9,000 toys and books to children in need, raising $317,000 and engaging over 700 volunteer hours.
