Please consider donating new socks, hats, mittens and scarves to Carnegie Community Centre Sock Drive to support Downtown Eastside community members. The Social Justice Team has placed a SOCKS DONATION BOX in the entrance to Hewett Hall. Store bought or handmade items are most welcome.
- New socks are the most requested item by people whose lives include homelessness and/or being under housed.
- They walk often, keep their shoes on almost 24 hours a day, and do not have regular access to laundry facilities.
- New socks prevent infections, diseases, and provide comfort and relief.
- Wool socks can keep feet warm even when wet, so please consider donating wool socks.
The box is emptied each week and the items are taken to the Carnegie Centre.
We are taking photos of the donated items and posting them here.
We will add more photos every week!
