The Daisy Girl Scout Troop 105 conducted a sock drive May 14 to June 11 to collect socks for orphans in Russia.
Each girl handed out flyers and plastic bags, donated by Giant, around their neighborhoods. The girls returned a few days later to pick up any bags that were left on the door. The socks were to be new, sized to fit ages three to 18, white or colorful, striped, patterned or plain. The goal was to collect 500 pairs of socks. On Saturday, June 11, the girls had a pizza party to celebrate and count the number of socks received.
They collected 1,038 pairs of socks. The socks will be distributed by Children’s HopeChest, care of Clubhouse Jr. Magazine. Children’s HopeChest works with 40 orphanages in Russia.
