Socks From Santa



I'd like to introduce you to a very thoughtful kid, Nick from Astolot Private School!

Back in August, his mom, Marjory, contacted us and said that Nick had wanted to start a collection with his schoolmates for Shepherds of Good Hope to collect socks (which is always a huge need here).  His original goal was to collect 100 pairs of socks.  By the time December rolled around they had managed to collect 795 pairs of socks for men, women and children! There are even more pairs coming to them.

Nick stopped by yesterday to deliver all 795 pairs and I presented him with a certificate for his efforts.


Nick's goal for next year as he enters Glebe High School is 1,000 pairs of socks!

What an incredibly thoughtful kid to think of others in need in his community!  We are extremely grateful for people like Nick, his family, their school and anyone that participated in the collection! Thank you!
