Holiday stockings for families in need Help Fill a Stocking for a Child in Carroll County This Holiday Season!

Join ACNB Bank in supporting The Shepherd’s Staff and Carroll County children in need by donating fun and useful items this holiday season. This special ACNB Helping Hands initiative in Carroll County, MD, runs through Friday, December 1. 

Customers and friends of the Bank may bring one or more items listed below to any of ACNB Bank’s five convenient locations in Carroll County, MD. Place your items in the large collection box in the office. ACNB staff members will then work like Santa’s Elves to fill festive, holiday stockings–provided by the Bank–with the items collected and will add a gift tag to identify each stocking for a boy or girl and the appropriate age level. The community organization will distribute these wonderful holiday stockings to families in need in early December.  

As an alternative, customers may provide a check made payable to The Shepherd’s Staff.

The Shepherd’s Staff ministry continually strives to effectively respond to people in their time of need. The organization’s focus is to provide temporary assistance to resolve short-term problems and empower people to seek more permanent solutions for social and economic self-sufficiency.
