Featuring Sock Friend Sheila

Sheila is a two year veteran as a Sock Friend

Sheila is a staff member of the Wellness Dept. at Terrances on 7th.
For two years she has been generously supporting me, The Sock Granny, in collecting socks for the mpa-society.org. They give socks directly to those who need them most. Since they are our neighbours we are more than happy to donate socks to them during our cold, wet winters here in Vancouver, BC.

Thank you, Sheila, for your loyal support.

2014:
Amanda spent many volunteer hours in preparing for our big launch party on Oct. 20, 2014. She designed posters and arranged for two Starbuck Stores to be a drop-off location for donated socks for the Sock Granny 1000 Campaign. Starbucks 1855 Burrard St - leave socks with Amanda
Amanda worked tirelessly during the entire Sock Party in looking after all 400 pairs of socks.

Amanda's warm smile and gracious words for everyone who donated socks made her a popular true friend of the 1000 pairs of Sock Campaign.

Thank you, Amanda and Molly

You can give socks to any of the Sock Friends and they will personally deliver the socks to the Sock Granny. We make sure every pair of socks are given to someone with cold, wet, painful feet. When they take their old wet socks off then they are given a clean pair to put on. Every one of the pairs of socks you give will make a difference in someones life.
We never give money!

Featuring Sock Friend Rei

Sock Granny has an incredible Team called Sock Friends who are passionate about collecting socks for the homeless and mentally ill.
Rei is one of the Sock Friends Team and from the very beginning she enthusiastically wanted to become a supporter of Sock Granny's goal of collecting 1000 pairs of socks.

The very next day Rei donated five pairs of socks.
When the date for our Launch Party of Sock Granny 1000 Campaign was set for Oct. 20th, we discussed the idea that I should wear something made of socks. She volunteered to sew some socks on one of my vests for me. I was positively excited about it and so was Rei! She brought the finished vest today PLUS 9 more pairs of socks.
