Signature socks

Great.

Thanks.

Thanks for having me.

Qantas Club of Bordertown chartered in 2008.

We started collecting socks for Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.

Started by local parade.

We would collect the socks.

People knew we were there.

Post some things on social media.

Over time, it has morphed into a larger project where we place bins in the local businesses with signage.

We promote for a month.

We promote the business and collecting the socks there.

And the day of the parade, we are in the parade handing out candy, but we're also driving a trailer and people are throwing socks at us in the trailer all throughout the parade route.

And then we do keep the bins throughout the businesses in town for a month.

Okay.

And then we deliver to the soup kitchen.

So viewers and listeners obviously are seeing that there's a potential need.

How did the Kiwanis Club of Borden Town see that the Trenton area soup kitchen is had the potential need for socks.

And why socks? Why not gloves? How about stocking caps? What made socks the focal point for the Kiwanis Club?

At one time we had a member in town that worked at the Trenton area soup kitchen and they explained that socks are the most needed item.

They can be used for numerous things.

They, for, for socks, they can keep you warm on your hands and they can also be used as scarves.

So one pair of socks can be used on many different ways.

Okay.

Okay.
