Our Leader
Jordan is currently a 5th grade student and she is looking to help as many of those in need as possible.
From a very young age, Jordan has always been compassionate and kind and has always done what she is passionate about, while being strong willed and having excellent communication skills...her parents have always known that she will change the world!
Jordan has many interests, including playing rep soccer, practicing karate, playing piano and hip hop dancing, as well as being involved with her school activities such as intramural sports, choir and PALS.
Jordan has a genuine interest in increasing the amount of donations that she is able to provide those in need annually...and works hard every year to do so.
Our History
One morning back in 2015, Jordan approached her Mommy, saying that TVO Kids was having a contest for kids that do good things and she wanted to do something so that maybe she could win. She continued to describe how people who do not live in warm homes need warm socks the most and maybe she could collect socks. By the end of that conversation, Jordan said that maybe she would just collect the socks and not worry about the contest...just do it for a good cause!
Jordan wrote a letter to her family and friends and asked for their support in helping her reach her goal of 100 pairs of new socks for the homeless in Peel.
With the magic of Facebook and the generosity of friends, family and complete strangers, Jordan has been able to blow her first goal out of the water...and every year following!
- 1st Annual Sock Drive (2015) Goal = 100 pairs Achieved = 2287 pairs
- 2nd Annual Sock Drive (2016) Goal = 3000 pairs Achieved = 4380 pairs
- 3rd Annual Sock Drive (2017) Goal = 4500 pairs Achieved = 4850+ pairs
- 4th Annual Sock Drive (2018) Goal = 5400 pairs Achieved = 13,100+ pairs
- 5th Annual Sock Drive (2019) Goal = 15,000 pairs Achieved = 22,500+ pairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jordan finally realized that she could make a difference in the community and this was the beginning of her setting some HUGE goals to help the homeless stay warm every year!
Jordan continues to set HUGE goals and has proven that there are MANY generous people in our community and beyond because each year her goals have been CRUSHED. Jordan is continuously wowed by the support she receives...and literally cried when finding out the total that she collected her 2nd year (watch the video of the reveal)!
Jordan has now committed herself to continuously think of those in the Peel homeless shelters, those who use the Peel Street Outreach program and those she helps in Cobourg (Northumberland), Toronto and beyond, by making a promise to herself to carry out her annual sock drive for the homeless!
