SIP: The S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Project
2025-10-01 08:00 - 2025-12-24 17:00 | LA
The S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Holiday Project
(Service Team of Elves and Angels Laboring Together to Help)
The Stitches Group is honored to present our annual holiday initiative, The S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Holiday Project.
Unlike traditional holiday drives, this project is dedicated to reaching families who quietly endure hardship—those who are struggling but rarely speak of their needs, and who often would never ask for help. With your support, we aim to make their holiday season brighter by granting wishes and showing them they are not forgotten.

How You Can Get Involved
There are several ways to serve:

🌟 Angels
Our Angels adopt family members and provide gifts. They are the miracle-makers who bring this project to life.

🎁 Elves
Our Elves are the backbone of the operation—picking up and wrapping gifts, helping with social media, and assisting with deliveries.

🎅 Santa’s
Our Santa’s are our special stars! Dressed in festive hats, they deliver wrapped presents door-to-door to children across Baton Rouge and surrounding areas.
👉 You can choose one role or participate in many! However you serve, the experience will be as fulfilling for you as it is for the families we help.

Applying & Nominating Families

Families do not need to apply for themselves; nominations are welcome.
We will speak with the parent/guardian before accepting a family for assistance.
All families must reside in Louisiana.

What Do Families Need & Want?
Families are selected based on need and circumstances.

We do not accept or distribute violent or offensive toys, books, or gifts.
All gifts must be dropped off by December 15th at one of our official locations.

Drop-Off Location:The Stitches Group HQ11616 Southfork Avenue, Suite 400Baton Rouge, LA 70816

Wrapping & Delivery
Our Elves and Santas will come together for a festive Wrapping Party and launch point for Santa deliveries (date TBA). From there, we’ll spread joy across the Capitol City and surrounding communities.

SIP: Feeding the Deserving
2025-11-22 11:00 - 14:00 | Prescott Academy, 4055 Prescott Rd, Baton Rouge, 70805, United States
Annual community outreach event dedicated to providing nourishing meals, emotional support, and vital resources to individuals and families throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area. This event goes beyond a traditional meal—it is an opportunity to foster connection, dignity, and empowerment for all who join us.

Every year, with the help of generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers, SIP brings together neighbors, families, and friends to share not only food, but also information, love, and hope. Our individualized approach ensures that each guest receives more than a meal—they find community, encouragement, and access to ongoing resources that can lead to lasting independence.

At SIP Initiative, we believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and uplifted. “Feeding the Deserving” is just one way we live out our mission to connect people with resources, education, and emotional support as they transition to empowerment.

We encourage you to get involved as a participant, volunteer, or sponsor. Together, we’re serving more than food—we’re building a stronger, more resilient Baton Rouge.

2026-05-03 16:00 - 20:00 | Stitches Group HQ Office, 11616 Southfork Drive, Baton Rouge, LA, 70816, United States
The Art of Managing Your Mental Health
The Art of Managing Your Mental Health is a community-centered event hosted by the Stitches Influencing Purpose (SIP) Initiative, designed to promote mental wellness, emotional resilience, and practical strategies for navigating life’s challenges.
This event brings together mental health professionals, community leaders, educators, and individuals for meaningful conversations about managing stress, building healthy coping mechanisms, and strengthening overall well-being. Through engaging discussions, interactive sessions, and access to valuable resources, participants will gain tools that support both personal growth and healthier communities.
Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where individuals can learn, connect, and explore practical approaches to maintaining mental and emotional balance in today’s fast-paced world.
At the SIP Initiative, we believe that mental health is a vital part of overall wellness, and by creating spaces for education, dialogue, and empowerment, we can help individuals and families thrive.
