2021...Continuing to Help During this Pandemic
To All Our Fabulous Sock Friends!
2021...Here we are a whole year later...hoping you have been keeping healthy, happy, and sane during this EXTREMELY LONG global pandemic!
Every year, except last year, Jordan has set a GOAL for the number of pairs of socks she'd like to collect...but during the Pandemic it's hard...for everyone. This year Jordan's Goal is to continue to help the best that she can...and at least collect more than last year...4,122 pairs! :)
As things are still not back to our "normal" Normal, our process will remain very similar to what we did with Jordan's Sock Drive last year.
The truth remains that there are A LOT of people in need of New Socks, especially with the difficult times that many have experienced over the past 19 months and we need to keep doing what we have done for the past 6 years…HELP OTHERS!
As many organizations have had to adapt during COVID-19, Jordan's Sock Drive has had to adapt as well and here is how we will be running Jordan’s 7th Annual Sock Drive:
DONATION PERIOD
We will have a LIMITED window to accept Donations again this year! You are encouraged to gather group/team/club/corporate donations much before this time and we appreciate you holding on to them until our Donation Period begins.
All Donations can be made between:
Wednesday December 1st – Sunday December 19th
DONATION DROP-OFFS & PICK UPS
We will NOT have any centralized Drop-Off Donation Boxes in the community again this year, as we know locations are mindful of contact. If you have a Group Donation, you’re welcome to collect on behalf of your group or have your personal donation ready & make arrangements to get your Donation to us either way:
• Non-Contact Drop Off at our home – Contact us to get our address
• Arrange for us to Pick Up – Contact us to schedule a date/time
SORT, COUNT & LABEL
We’re attempting to minimize the amount of contact that our family has with the socks that are being donated. We’re asking for your help in the following ways:
IF POSSIBLE, kindly SORT, COUNT & LABEL EACH of the following categories:
* WOMEN
* MEN
* CHILDREN
OTHER WAYS TO DONATE
As we will not have Donation Boxes as readily available in the Community, we would like to suggest alternative options to donate, if needed:
• Order online & have socks delivered to our home – You can place online orders via Amazon, Walmart or any other online vendor of your choice. Please contact us directly for our mailing address.
• If you feel comfortable to, you may Email Transfer a monetary donation & we will gladly purchase socks on your behalf. We will be very transparent with all monetary donations, by publicly noting each cash donation and having a running tally. We will then purchase with all monetary donations & will post the results of our bulk purchase.
For Email Transfers:
JordansSocks@hotmail.com
If you need to set a Security Question, please be sure to keep the answer simple or remember to send us the Answer!
Again, we know that this isn’t our “usual” way, but there are new norms in many areas of our lives, & this is just one for our family this year!
We ALWAYS appreciate everyone’s kindness & generosity & we thank those who have already reached out to us to find out how they can help again this year!
Over the past 6 years, Jordan wouldn’t have been able to collect 51,000+ pairs of new socks for the homeless in Peel, Northumberland, Toronto & beyond if it wasn’t for YOU and your continued support…& we are forever grateful!
Sending Virtual Hugs,
Jordan & The Randall Family
Our Leader
Jordan is currently a 7th grade student and she is looking to help as many of those in need as possible.
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 = 2,287 pairs
- 2nd Annual Sock Drive (2016) Goal = 3000 pairs Achieved = 4,380 pairs
- 3rd Annual Sock Drive (2017) Goal = 4500 pairs Achieved = 4,850+ 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- 6th Annual Sock Drive (2020 - a VERY different year w/COVID-19 Health Crisis)
Goal = To collect/help as many as possible! Achieved = 4,122+ 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!
