Socks for Chad was started by Tammy Ruffo in honour of her son, Chad, who passed away in 2015.

Ruffo collects socks all year round to donate in December, in time for cold weather an Christmas.

Friends, family and community members donate socks as well as money to purchase socks.

In 2021 Socks for Chad collected a record breaking 605 pairs to donate to One Roof Community Centre who will distribute them to those in need.

Ruffo hopes that 2022 will garner even more socks than last year and be able to keep even more people warm.

In a post to the Socks for Chad Facebook group Ruffo wrote ‘Thank you so much for helping this grieving mom reach and surpass my goals to beat last year’s. I could not have done this without each and every one of you! Between all the sock donations a e-transfers we did it!’
