** POSTPONED – NEW DATE TO BE DETERMINED. PLEASE REACH OUT TO TESSA.SCHNEIDER@JPBG.CA IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS **

106.7 The Drive & BIG105 are teaming up for you to Sock It to Us! We are asking you to buy a new pack of socks and/or underwear for The Mustard Seed in Red Deer. We want you to challenge your co-workers to do the same, and bring those donations to your workplace between now and March 19th. Then, on Friday, March 20th, we’ll come to your workplace to collect your donation to bring to the Mustard Seed. Everyone that donates will have their company entered for a chance to win an Office Party from Bo’s Bar & Grill. *See details below. Simply fill out this contact form to register your donation! Special thanks to the Rotary Club of Red Deer Urban Spirits for their help in collecting our donations!

They are some of the most in demand items at the Red Deer Mustard Seed, but one of the least donated…we’re talking clothing essentials of socks & underwear. Think of how fresh it feels to pull on a clean pair. Many of Red Deer’s most vulnerable population rarely get that feeling. Now think to yourself how you’d feel having to wear that same pair of socks or underwear for more than a few days. Most people get grossed out, but the reality for some people is they won’t get to change those items once in a week, a month, or longer.

The Mustard Seed in Red Deer are currently handing out 135 pairs of socks on average every meal evening Monday, Wednesday, & Friday.  They provide 156 evening dinners a year on average.   If you do the math, they’ll hand out over 21,000 pairs of socks and underwear every year! Even one pack donated can help.
