The History of Jordan's Annual Sock Drive
Our sweet and kind-hearted daughter, Jordan, is always thinking of others and how she can change the world...usually one tiara at time, but this time was different! 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 co
ntinued 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!

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, Toronto and beyond, by making a promise to herself to carry out her annual sock drive for the homeless! This young girl with a huge heart thanks ALL of her supporters who donate and help spread the word of her campaign! Though she is thankful for your support...those who are in need thank you MORE!!!! xoxoxox
