To learn more about it check out this Fiskars Fiskateer blog post. Charity Committee for Fiskars.  It is such an honor and a privelege to co-chair this.  Our first project has been met with such an overwhelmingly positive reaction. 

 

FYI

We have a group on Facebook that we would love for you to join called Sock It to Poverty.

and already the socks are coming in!

This is great Sudie. I pray that Fiskateers and everyone alike are able to give socks.

Collecting socks was actually one of the possible Girl Scout Silver Award projects my daughter was considering last year - we never knew how needed they were in our community! Kudos to you for participating in such a worthy cause.

Hi Sudie, I'm so excited that you are in the Charleston area!!!! I've been looking for scrappers in the area! As for your sock drive, it's a great idea. I am not able to help now. However, I worked in a homeless shelter several years ago and I know how important dry socks are! Thanks for being a shining light in our community! Jessica
