2020 Sock It To Poverty Campaign
Good afternoon,
The NSGEU’s Human Rights Committee is very pleased to report that we have collected $8,500 in donations from our Locals to purchase socks from Stanfields for our annual Sock It To Poverty campaign!
Thank you to all of the Locals who made generous contributions this year! We hope to be able to return to collecting individual donations of warm winter items next year.
If any Local would like to donate to Sock it to Poverty, please send a cheque to NSGEU in early 2021. The Human Rights committee will use any monies collected in 2021 to purchase the 2021 sock donations.
