About Us

Have you ever felt your heart sink as you watch someone walk by with no shoes?Or looked on in helpless dismay as someone dumps trash and furniture on the side of the road? And wonder, who is going to clean up that mess!? Come to realize that not all children have a safe home to celebrate holiday traditions in?

​Stockton 209 Cares is a local non-profit that cares. Our team of volunteers help clean up that mess, take shoes to those without and provide gifts and holiday celebrations for children and youth living in shelters. We know our outreach projects can't help everyone, but together, we can help someone, and it makes a difference for that person.
