About Us:
Who We Serve

The Empty Stocking Fund assists children from birth to age 13 living in DeKalb, Clayton, Cobb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett and Henry counties who are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Medicaid insurance benefits through the Department of Family and Children Services.

Each year, with the help of each county's Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS), letters are sent to parents and guardians of children living at or below the poverty level, notifying them that they are eligible to receive gifts for their children.

If you received Medicaid benefits through Fulton or DeKalb County prior to October 1st, you should receive a letter from the Empty Stocking Fund in November explaining the process to receive gifts. If you live in the surrounding counties (Cobb, Douglas, Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Rockdale, Gwinnett), please contact your DFACS case worker directly and they can explain how they assist families in their county.

If you have not received this letter by Thanksgiving, please contact us.
