We are pleased to announce a new drop-off location for the Project 680 Sock Drive at Gold River Carpet One Floors & Home at 11367 Pyrites Way- Suite A Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 (during business hours). Thank you so much!!!!

Socks can be dropped off at this location or several others. Or you can bring them on the day of our bike ride on May 8, 2010. You can see a full list of drop-off locations HERE. If you’d like to be a drop-off location, or you have a creative way to collect socks (with friends, family, church, the office…), we’d love to hear what you’re thinking.

Let’s keep going everyone!!!!

What type of socks are you collecting? Why?

We’ll be collecting NEW “no show” ankle socks for teens and elementary age students. We will be gathering socks from now through May 8, 2010. Why? Because this is a relevant and practical need among homeless students in the FCUSD. Why “no show” ankle socks? Because that’s what the kids like these days.

As a community team, our goal is to collect at least 2000 pairs of socks so that we can build up a reserve to resource local homeless students with socks through the next year (or longer).

You are invited to join forces with the Project 680 team. We encourage local residents, churches, businesses and organizations to get involved – AND to get creative where possible about collecting socks. All ages are encouraged to participate too. If you are interested in donating socks, you are welcome to drop them off at any location listed HERE or bring them on the day of the community bike ride. Financial donations can also be made if you wish (click here for details).

Together we can make a difference!!! We will make a difference!!!

Erin Attardi is a local Realtor with Lyon Real Estate and we were elated to read her post on Twitter this morning. Here is what Erin said (along with providing the picture below): “Just raided the sock aisle at Target for @Project680 Sock Drive #RanchoCordova #BikingForSocks”

Thank you Erin for your generosity, and thanks for sharing too. We are excited that homeless students will have new warm socks to put on their feet. Together we can make a difference.
