Here are some tips for organizing your sock drive.

1. Determine the dates for your drive. Socks are needed throughout the year.

2. Determine the best means for collecting the socks - whether you place bins in a central location or in individual classrooms or office areas if the sock drive is a competition.

3. Contact Project Ellie at 603-401-7321 so Patti can walk you through the process and answer any questions you might have.

4. Please collect only NEW socks. Although many gently used socks are in excellent shape, we CANNOT accept them.

5. Spread the word about your donation drive through in-house communications, email, print and social media. Project Ellie will help with this endeavor.

6. Take photos at the end of your drive. Post on social media, do a press release - Get the word out!

7. Count and sort the socks, separating men’s, women’s, and children’s socks. Please give us a grand total as well!

8. Contact Project Ellie so we can organize a pick up time.
