WHAT IS SOCKTOBER?
"Each night in the United States, an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, we want 2 million people to show that even a small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are homeless" (Montague, 2021). In October 2011, Brad Montague, the creator of Socktober, realized there was a large population of homeless people in his hometown. He wanted to do something about it, so he researched the needs of the homeless. Montague soon learned that socks are the items least donated to homeless shelters. So... Socktober was born!
HOW CAN I HELP?
This year students in Mrs. Wurl, Ms. Cooke, Mrs. Hriczko, Mrs. Kennedy, Ms. Moretta, Ms. McDonough, and Ms. Gajewski’s classes are organizing the Socktober sock drive for our school. Each week students will share information about how a simple pair of socks can make a big impact in the homeless community on the WildCat News. Helping is as easy as 1,2,3!
Socks can be sent to school October 7th-October 25th.
Ms. McDonough, one of our 8:1:2 teachers, is running the Niagara Falls, Ontario Marathon in support of Autism Speaks. If you would like to make a donation on her behalf to Autism Speaks USA, please consider sending a check to West Elementary PTA.
