Dr. Colledge and Dr. Stafford were honoured to deliver sock donations to all 10 elementary schools in St. Thomas, made possible by the incredible generosity of our patients and community through this year’s sock drive.
Every school shared that these socks are greatly needed, and they were accepted with sincere gratitude. Knowing these donations will help keep so many children’s feet warm and comfortable this winter highlights the true impact of coming together as a community.
We couldn’t have achieved this without your support. Thank you for helping make this initiative successful this year. Together, we’re not only warming feet, but hearts throughout St. Thomas.
