Anniston, AL – As November approaches, the Anniston City Meeting Center is getting ready to host an event that epitomizes the spirit of giving and spreading holiday cheer. On Friday, November 3rd, from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm, the Empty Stocking Gala will grace the City Meeting Center, ushering in the holiday season with a touch of elegance and generosity.
The Empty Stocking Gala is a heartwarming event with a profound mission: to provide Christmas gifts for all the children in foster care under the custody of the Department of Human Resources (DHR) in Calhoun and Cleburne counties. This endeavor ensures that every child, despite their circumstances, experiences the joy and magic of the holiday season.
Beyond foster children, the gala extends its benevolence to indigent patients residing in area nursing homes, bringing a glimmer of warmth and happiness into their lives during the festive season. In recent years, the Empty Stocking Gala has also generously supported several other children’s charities, creating a ripple of goodwill throughout the community.
This year’s gala promises to be a Winter Wonderland, with the color palette comprising white, silver, and hints of red, invoking the enchantment of a snowy holiday landscape. The Anniston City Meeting Center will be transformed into a magical setting that captures the essence of the season.
Guests are invited to embrace the gala’s elegance by adhering to a dress code that calls for coat and tie, cocktail attire, or formal wear. This creates an atmosphere of sophistication that perfectly complements the evening’s festivities.
Entertainment for the gala will be provided by Party Nation, ensuring that the night is filled with live music and dancing, creating an enchanting ambiance for all in attendance.
The gala also boasts a delectable culinary experience with catering by Classic On Noble, adding a taste of luxury to the evening.

By attending the Empty Stocking Gala, you not only enjoy a wonderful night out but also become a part of the charitable effort that brightens the lives of children and those in need during the holiday season.
