Support Sunshine STEM Student Council for Socktober
Thanks to everyone that is promoting the Student Council sponsored event: SOCKtober. Our students began this endeavor hoping to help families in need in our local community. We wanted to provide families with something very useful that most may not think to give-- warm socks for the winter months.
We reached out to The Drake House (see link below) as they are doing great things to help families in our area. Yesterday, I received a call back from the director and she was thrilled that our students thought of The Drake House and the families they support. She stated that they would gladly accept any new socks. http://thedrakehouse.org/
Please help spread the word to anyone that would like to donate that we are now collecting new socks only.
SoulPancake asks that you share a picture of your donation drop-off on Twitter using #socktober and by sending email to socktober@soulpancake.com
