Adopt a Moore County Angel

Citizens who would like to shop for Moore County angel children may do so by choosing a stocking at two participating local banks: Farmers Banks and the Jack Daniel Employee Credit Union. Each stocking ornament will give details about the children like their gender, age, sizes, and wishes. Stockings will be on those trees beginning Monday, November 25. All purchased items should be wrapped and placed inside a non-see-through bag with the stocking securely attached to the outside. Those bags should be returned to the original bank from which you got the stocking details by no later than Wednesday, December 11.
