The Great Cosy Toes Sock Drive.

Here at Cosy Toes HQ we have a mission on! We are asking you for socks!! Yes, socks to be sent to us.... The Great Cosy Toes sock drive.

Through the powers of the internet, information has been sent to us to spread the word about an organisation called the Child's i Foundation (www.childsifoundation.org) which is setting up a babies home in Uganda from scratch by a friend of a friend - Lucy Buck. Every day in Uganda thousands of babies are abandoned and left on the streets. Some die before they get help and others become seriously ill. The lucky ones are put in  orphanges. Orphanges already in Uganda are bulging at the seams. Lucy and her team set up the organisation in 2005 to build the home.

Socks are probably something we take a little for granted but we also know that babies need socks. So we are collecting socks to send to the home for the babies. They don't have to be Cosy Toes socks by the way - just next time you are shopping pick up a pair of socks and send them to us - its that simple. We are asking for sizes birth to 2 years (hopefully the babies are adopted out to a nice Ugandan family around this age). Preferably new but if you have some spare socks at home that are in good condition we will also send those. Bootees are fine too.

Cosy Toes will match the first 30 pairs sent in. Our aim is to send 200 pairs (initially) and I will be in touch with you to let you know how many we are up too.
Please forward this information to everyone you know that might like to help out with this. Socks can be sent to: Cosy Toes, 24 George Street, Rotherham, 7379, North Canterbury, (New Zealand).
