Three Moms who helped conduct a sock drive for the homeless at Shir Ami Synagogue, Newtown, PA for The Joy of Sox, a nonprofit that provides joy to the homeless with new socks.
Conducting sock drives is a fun activity and a great way to both raise awareness of the plight of the homeless and the problems they have from not having new socks.
Sock drives can be held in your school, church, workplace, favorite store…or anyplace.
We have found that various classes, grades or departments can get into some friendly competition during the course of a sock drive. For example, one dorm at a college or university may feel “energized” to collect more new socks than another dorm. Or the 6th graders feel that there is no way the 4th graders will collect more socks.
You get the idea. And everybody wins.
