Socks In The City
There’s plenty of opportunities for you to read about all sorts of bleak and dreary news in the world, but want to know an awesome story that’ll brighten your day?
Sean Gray from Prairie Footwear on 331 Smith St. dropped by Siloam Mission today with a huge donation of brand new socks so that Winnipeg’s less fortunate don’t have to freeze this winter.
And there’s more: Next week Sean is dropping by with another donation of winter boots! That’s a value of more than $12,000.
These may be times of escalating violence, social insecurity, economic malaise and dwindling opportunities for the poor and marginalized, but in Winnipeg, on 300 Princess St., there is a rare little piece of heaven because of the generosity of Manitobans like Sean and Prairie Footwear.
It’s a rare show of compassion and community spirit.
It’s people like Prairie Footwear that get in the way of someone giving up; that stand between hope and despair.
Thank you. Your support continues to bless so many.
