Howay Helping Hands were super excited about our local fundraiser: SOCKTOBER 2024!!
We were collecting new adult sized socks to donate to The Lookout Society shelter in New Westminster.
With the cooler weather and rainy days ahead socks are in great demand at local shelters. We wanted to make a difference to those in our community by donating lots of socks!!!
Our goal was to collect 500 pairs of new adult sized socks and our super goal was to collect 800 pairs of socks. Socktober began October 1, 2024 and concluded October 31, 2024.

UPDATE!!
We’re thrilled to announce that we exceeded our Sock-tober goal! Thanks to our school communities incredible generosity, we collected 1,284 pairs of socks to donate to those in need.
Students may have been extra motivated by the fun challenges Mrs. Young took on, including eating a super-sour Warhead, indulging in a larvae lollipop, and bobbing for apples at the assembly! Your dynamic giving truly made this campaign a success.
Way to go, Howay Hawks!
