Rotary Club Socks & Bottoms December 2022

It’s back!

Socks and bottoms is here- a joint project from Rotary clubs of Windsor Essex that aims to collect socks, underwear, diapers, adult incontinence products, and toilet paper for over 32 local agencies in need.

Keeping in mind our friends experiencing homelessness and those living in extreme poverty this cold season, the club is also accepting donations of gloves, hats, and sleeping bags.

These items are essential for individuals and families across Essex County and Rotary clubs of Windsor Essex are here to provide them with help from the generous community.

Thanks to April and the team at U-Haul Moving & Storage of South Walkerville they have a space to store donations. Not only that but donors can drop off items at a permanent drop box inside their main office (1508 Walker Rd) anytime during regular business hours from now until December 20, 2022.

The Rotary Club will also be collecting items on their Community Drop Off Day- Saturday, December 3, 2022 at the Caboto club. Donors can drive up to the main doors to drop off donations between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Last year they were able to provide items to 32 local agencies who distribute the goods for free to Windsorites who need them.

If you represent a local agency and would like to be added to the list please reach out to us via e-mail at: [email protected].

None of this is possible without the generous and giving community and we’re so grateful to each and every one who supports our mission to provide basic necessities to anyone who needs them.
