STAFF

Along with the generous support of our donors and volunteers, The Empty Stocking Fund functions smoothly thanks to the hard, unfailing work of our team members who are passionate about helping children in our community.

Gregory Hill

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Gregory Hill leads the Empty Stocking Fund with a rare blend of deep conviction and strategic discipline. As Executive Director, he has channeled his commitment to service into measurable progress, transforming ESF from a cherished holiday tradition into a year-round operation supporting Metro Atlanta’s students, teachers, and families in need. His energetic leadership and operational focus ensure that compassion consistently translates into tangible, real-world results.

This drive is backed by nearly two decades of leadership in the nonprofit sector. Most recently, Greg served as the founding Executive Director of Aurora Day Camp, establishing programs that deliver free summer, year-round, and in-hospital support to more than 2,500 children with cancer and their siblings across greater Atlanta.

Earlier in his career, Greg led large-scale humanitarian operations as head of the Refugee & Migration Unit at Save the Children. Managing a $25M annual portfolio focused on child protection and education, he deployed to critical relief environments across the globe-including Ethiopia, Iraq, South Sudan, and throughout the U.S. Today, Greg leverages this deep operational expertise and passion for service to help ESF empower local families and lighten their everyday loads.

Greg has called Georgia home since 2017. He lives in Decatur with his family, where he’s a proud public school parent and plays softball in his free time.
