Rita’s Rainbows Sera Day Sock Drive Feb 1st – 29th
Collecting socks to provide comfort and care – and smiles, too, for children/teens in need!
We collect socks throughout the year for children/teens in need however in February and August we collaborate with the Coryell family as we collect socks in memory of their daughter, Sera.
Sera lived here in San Luis Obispo and was studying to be a nurse practitioner when she passed away in August 2011. Sera often wore crazy knee high socks so her parents and friends started a tradition to wear colorful and crazy knee socks in memory of Sera – on her birthday, February 26th.
In honor of the Coryell’s tradition, we are seeking donations of colorful, whimsical, soft and comfy socks for children/teens in need – ages infant to 17. Socks will be distributed in memory of Sera to agencies that serve children/teens in need. This collection will help fill a need at the agencies and provide an inventory to help those children/teens that come in and are in need of socks. The socks will be a colorful and caring reflection of both Sera and Rita. They are sure to warm the toes of children/teens in need and bring a smile to their days!
