Welcome October, and welcome back SOCKtober. There are a lot of people in our community with cold feet who could use a little warmth and kindness. So once again, Baaad Anna’s is teaming up with STASH Lounge, Baaad Rabbit and Little Red Mitten to collect new socks for local organizations and mutual aid groups supporting people in need.

Bring in packs of new store-bought socks and you will get a entry ticket for our BA Soctober Prize basket. One ticket per pair; so feel free to costco-up and bring in multiples in packs! Our prize basket will start with two skeins of sock yarn from my personal coveted stash. For every 100 donated pairs of socks we collect in store I will add another skein! That means the more socks we collect, the bigger the yarn haul gets.

DROP OFF: Baaad Anna’s Yarn Store OR Baaad Rabbit Fibre Arts (and exchange for a ticket!)

Last year we collected 838 pair of new socks and 30 hand knit socks that were distributed amongst recipients in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside via Distro Disco a mobile free store and mutual aid initiative in Vancouver, that distributes survival gear, clothing, and harm reduction supplies to unhoused neighbors and as well as donating to PHS Community Services Society. This year, we’re going for even more! We’ll keep you updated weekly numbers and check back regularly to see what fun additions we come up with throughout the month of Soctober!

One draw, one prize… winner takes it all!
