KCSL’s Holiday Tradition
The Red Stocking Breakfast is a continuance of a tradition of holiday giving to KCSL that started over 100 years ago. In the 1920s, the community was invited to take holiday gifts to children living at KCSL’s receiving home, a temporary residence for children awaiting a foster or adoptive home. These children would hang their “Little Red Stockings” in anticipation of the generosity of the community. KCSL will hold Red Stocking Breakfast events in three areas again this year: Overland Park, Topeka and Wichita.
