 Stuff the Sleigh 2006 Stuff the Sleigh 2006
“Stuff the Sleigh” was successful again this year. Stuff the Sleigh, Inc.(http://www.stuffthesleigh.com/ ), was created in 2002 when a need arose to help foster children experience a merry Christmas. Today’s THV This Morning and Alice 107.7 joined the drive to collect toys for “Stuff A Sleigh”. THV did live shots from Wal-Mart in Benton, Wal-Mart in Cabot, and Wal-Mart in Little Rock. Other drop-spots included Conway, Maumelle, Sherwood, North Little Rock, and Little Rock.
