Socks and Bottoms
November 28 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
The Socks and Bottoms campaign is an annual community charity drive to collect brand-new undergarments and hygiene essentials for people in need in our community . The drive distributes items to over 45 local charities and social service agencies across Windsor and Essex County (supporting shelters, families in financial hardship, and individuals experiencing homelessness).
What is collected:
- New underwear
- New socks
- New gloves and mittens
- Baby and Adult diapers
- Toilet paper
Why Socks and Bottoms: Underwear and socks are among the most frequently overlooked items during standard food bank or clothing donations, yet they are vital for personal hygiene, warmth, health, and human dignity.
Items will be collected until November 27, 2026. You can bring your donation to a Rotary meeting, the Rotary office or we can pick up (call Marcela 519-563 – 9630 or email marcela.diaz@cogeco.ca to arrange). Monetary donations are also accepted. (etransfer info@rotary1918.com use password: Rotary)
