We had a launch party for the Sock Granny 1000 pairs of Socks Campaign October 20, 2014. Everyone was told that with one pair of new or used socks anyone can make a positive difference in someones life.
The following Newsletter explains the incredible results.
WE WANT YOUR SOCKS!
Molly and the Sock Granny
The Sock Granny 1000 campaign has been launched at Terraces on 7th. Its aim? To collect 1000 pairs of socks for those who need them most.
On Monday, October 20th we collected 400 pairs of socks in one afternoon. The socks just kept flowing in like a river of warm comfort. Our donation basket simply overflowed! Were residents inspired by the promise of an ice cream sundae? Not at all. Even our maintenance man was willing to take off his shoes and donate the socks off his feet to bring the count from 399 to 400!
We are doing this in support of our neighbours, the MPA Society (mpa-society.org). From there they are distributed by hand to those who need them most.
We hope this inspires you to make a difference in somebody else’s life. It’s as easy as one pair of socks.
