Good morning, Helena.

For 72 years, volunteers have gathered at St. Peter’s Health for the annual Arlene Matthews Sock Sew event—this year it set a record with over 70 volunteers cutting, sewing and decorating stockings for newborns and hospital patients, giving babies a keepsake and patients a festive treat.

Volunteers set a record this year as more than 70 helpers gathered at St. Peter’s Health to cut, sew, and decorate stockings for newborns and patients; the event (a 72-year tradition started by Arlene Matthews in 1953) brings holiday cheer to the community.

Two Montana nonprofits got $26,500 from the Chrome for Kids Wish Fund to support programs for chronically ill children — the funding will help maintain essential services for affected families.

Local veterans can get help with mental health this holiday season from Fort Harrison VA + Check A Vet, a nonprofit led by Helena native Michael Carmichael who says staying connected can ease loneliness.
