Freedom raises money for Red Stocking campaign

Freedom Valu Centers, with 65 stores located throughout the  Midwest, presented The Children’s Home Society President and CEO  Maureen Warren with a check for $37,563 on Feb. 7. 

The check is total proceeds raised during the 2011 Little Red Stocking campaign. 

Freedom stores supported the Little Red Stocking Campaign by selling red stockings in $1 and $5 amounts in their stores. Donors receive a personalized stocking to hang in the store where the donation was made.

The campaign ran Nov. 14 through Jan. 1. This is the  second consecutive year that Freedom Valu Centers supported the Red  Stocking campaign.
“We had some fun competition between the stores to see what store  teams could sell the most Red Stockings during the first three weeks of the campaign.” said Darren Forbes, senior vice president of Freedom Valu Centers. “Some stores had to get creative in where they pasted the stocking, because of overwhelming support from our customers  and the incredible number of stocking sold.”

“We sure are proud of the effort put forth by all of our associates for such a worthy cause.”

Children’s Home Little Red Stocking Campaign can be life changing. It works all year long to give kids in our community an opportunity to learn and grow, and lets them thrive in a safe and loving  family.
