Thanks to all the donors and volunteers who made this second annual "Socking Giveaway" a big success despite the weather. Special thanks to the Girl Guides, who have adopted the pantry and arrived with four carts full, and to Andrea Soong, who got her daughter's school involved. Many new volunteers came to help, and the atmosphere was great.
Lots of food came in to fill the pantry. A firepit warmed many from the cold. Over 200 stockings were filled, and many enjoyed the extra items such as warm scarves and hats, cocoa, cookies, chocolates, and raffle prizes. Leftover socks will go to the Warming Shelter and to Sources Street Outreach.
Bonne Fête!
