OAK CREEK, WI — The 2021 holiday season is upon us, and ahead of Thanksgiving, the City of Oak Creek is already preparing for new ways to spread holiday cheer.

One program set to launch on Nov. 24, just before Thanksgiving, is the Stockings for Seniors program. The Oak Creek Civic Celebrations Committee posted to Facebook it plans on hanging stockings in City Hall.

People can come in and take one of the stockings —each will contain a list of suggested items— then return it to the second-floor library desk by Dec. 17. When the stockings are returned, they will each be donated to a resident of Booth Manor Senior Home, according to the committee's Facebook post.

The city's website said people will be able to stop in during regular business hours at the Civic Center for the stockings. The center is located at 8040 South 6th Street in Oak Creek.
