Hannah’s Socks and Early Head Start Partnership

 

Hannah’s Socks and Lucas County Early Head Start (EHS) are partnering to distribute new infant and toddler socks to families in the community. Both programs help people who are affected by homelessness and poverty. The Early Head start partner agencies are meeting with Hannah’s Socks to pick up 13,000 pairs of socks on Monday, March 19, 2018 at 9:30 am. This will occur at the storage facility located at 25581 Ft. Meigs Road in Perrysburg, near Levis Commons. Representatives from each of the Early Head Start partner organizations will be present at the event including Lucas County Family Council, Catholic Club, East Toledo Family Center, Educare Academy, Mercy Health, and WSOS Community Action. From there, the providers will distribute new socks to families enrolled in Early Head Start and other programs at the agencies.

 

Hannah’s Socks is a community based non-profit organization dedicated to helping people affected by homelessness, poverty and domestic abuse in Ohio and Southeast Michigan. They collect and donate new socks and undergarments to those in need through shelter homes, public schools and direct distribution.

 

Early Head Start programs provide intensive comprehensive child development and family support services to low-income infants and toddlers and their families, and to pregnant women and their families. Lucas County Family Council partners with Catholic Club, Toledo Day Nursery, Mercy Health, East Toledo Family Center and Educare Academy to deliver these services to over 150 children and families with the greatest need in Lucas County. The program relies on community donations to help meet the needs of the children and families in our program. These donations and community partnerships are a vital part of Early Head Start; 25% of Federal grant proceeds must be matched with non-Federal funds such as volunteer hours, adopt-a-classroom corporate programs and donations of program materials.

 

Early Head Start is grateful to Hannah’s Socks for the generous donation and for including our program among the many programs in Ohio and Southeast Michigan that benefit from their work. Sandra Johnson, Parent, Family, and Community Engagement Coordinator at Lucas County Family Council said, “I am inspired by the pure thoughtfulness of a once 4 year old child whose oversized heart could reach beyond her age and touch thousands of children. I feel fortunate that our agency who serves infants and toddlers with the greatest needs can benefit from it. It’s both humbling and exciting to be an invited participant.”

 

And best of all, toddlers in Early Head Start will get to wear new, colorful socks!
