Here are donors to the Charlotte Observer’s Empty Stocking Fund

The Salvation Army’s angel tree program matches children in need with anonymous donors who buy the gifts. In cases where donors don’t step up, Charlotte Observer readers cover the expense by giving to the Empty Stocking Fund. The Observer has sponsored the Empty Stocking Fund since about 1920.
