Rosie's Place, Year 5
Saturday, April 20, 2024
Winter 2024 marked our 5th year partnering with Rosie's Place on a Sock Drive. Why a sock drive? Shelters can only accept new socks for their guests and folks usually give shelters and donation boxes lightly used items. So socks don't "naturally" come to shelters. But we all know that dry, warm feet can make or break your day. So 5 years ago we decided to run a sock drive and to do it after the holidays when donations are usually at a high - the need doesn't go away and February in Boston is still COLD! You have been so generous over the years but on this, our 5th anniversary, your generosity absolutely blew us out of the water. Between all 17 stores, our employees, and Vince, we brought over 1,000 pairs of socks to Rosie's Place and their guests in March. We filed up an entire rolling hamper and then some! Thank you so much for your support of your neighbors!
