Just Socks Launches its 6th Annual Emergency Sock Drive January 15- February 15, 2021 |
Starting January 15th, Just Socks is hosting its 6th annual sock drive, calling on Canadians to help get much needed socks to Canada’s homeless populations this winter.
New socks are one of the most needed items of clothing for Canadian charities. Just Socks Foundation’s sole purpose is to provide new socks to those in need across Canada. In the past six years, Just Socks has distributed almost 400,000 pairs of socks to over 100 registered Canadian charities that provide clothing to those in need. There are approximately 235,000 homeless Canadians. (State of Homelessness Report 2016). This coupled with COVID 19 has created a huge demand for socks this year. We need your help to reach our goal of raising $25,000 to purchase new socks for the homeless from January 15th – February 15th, 2021. All donations will be matched up to $25,000 via an anonymous donor. A $30 donation buys 30 pairs of socks and donors receive an immediate tax receipt for any gifts over $3. |
