Tracey Robinson who runs a sock business called Cosy Toes, made a New Years resolution to be more charitable.
Trawling the internet, she found an Australian group sending socks to orphaned Ugandan children.
The Rotherham mother of two is appealing for people to help her with her "sock drive".
"Apparently it's hot during the day but cold at night, and babies don't regulate their temperature like adults,"Robinson said.
"Uganda has so many abandoned children and they just arrive with nothing,"she said.
"Socks are small, easy to send and anything is gratefully received."
Robinson, is seeking new socks and has already been sent items from Cantabrians, including beanies and baby clothing. She sends the socks to a woman in Australia, who ships them to Uganda.
Robinson said she had "an eye for a good sock".
She plans to send a shipment each month "until people get sick of me asking for socks."
