November in St. Augustine is all about connection — to community, to local traditions, and to the spirit of giving. This year, we are sharing several local events that are supporting The Stocking Elves, a local volunteer-driven organization that provides hundreds of holiday stockings filled with essentials and small gifts for local children, teens, and moms. If you’re looking for ways to give back while enjoying everything St. Augustine has to offer, there are plenty of ways to get involved all month long.
