In the Community
Helping our local community with 14,000 pairs of socks!
Hello Steve,
It was pleasure to meet you and Mark. On behalf of the CREC Foundation, thank you for your generous gift of 14,000 pairs of socks. Thirteen CREC programs received socks and we partnered with the following community agencies to distribute the socks.
· Hispanic Health Council
· Urban League of Greater Hartford – Young Professionals
· Parent University
· The Citadel of Love
· Mt. Olive Church
· Phillips AME Church
· Center for Latino Progress
· Lilly without Barriers
· My Sister's Place
· McKinney Shelter
· Open Hearth
· New Dimension Christian Center - Mustard Seed Program
· Christ Church of Deliverance
· CCSU Love Wins Drive
· Grace Academy
· CT Girl Scouts
· Boys & Girls Club of Hartford
· City of Hartford Warming Center
· Catholic Charities
· HOPW
· Hartford Police Department mobile unit
Everyone was thrilled to receive the socks and pass them along to their clients and students. By the end of the day we distributed 11,300 pairs of socks. I’ve attached a few photo highlights.
We also received this note of gratitude from one of the recipients:
“ I want to thank you so much for including our closet/pantry in the sock donation. These socks are AMAZING! I have already been able to give some out. This is perfect as the weather gets colder to give out with our coats, hats and gloves. I will be adding them to our thanksgiving baskets as well for families. I am so excited. I just wanted to reach out and let you know that it was more than greatly appreciated!!!!! My families are going to love them. I cannot say thank you enough”. Melissa Martinez, Family & Community Engagement Specialist, Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts High School
Countless families in the Greater Hartford community will benefit from this donation. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.
Sincerely,
Darlene
