Quadrant Homes Rallies for Seattle's Union Gospel Mission in "Toasty Toes Tube Sock Drive"
November 2011
This holiday season, Quadrant Homes wants to make sure every pair of feet in Seattle is protected from the elements. To that end, Quadrant, one of Washington State’s largest home builders, is once again calling on community members to bring new pairs of socks to any Quadrant Community Sales Office or Design Studio for their “Toasty Toes Tube Sock Drive” benefiting Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission. Donors will receive free passes to the Space Needle. Donations are accepted now through Friday, December 2.
“One of our key company values at Quadrant Homes is community involvement,” said Quadrant Homes president Ken Krivanec. “We’re glad we can help again in that regard by providing warm clothing to those in our community who are less fortunate.”
The Mission plans to hand out over 20,000 pairs of socks this year through a variety of programs. In every year of participation, Quadrant has donated several thousand pairs of socks to the Mission. In the final week of this year’s campaign, the mark stands at well over a thousand.
“Quadrant Homes came to us and asked, ‘How can we help?’ Then, year after year, they continue to pour resources and support to meet the needs of the homeless in our community,” said Jeff Lilley of Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission. “Their contributions not only take the edge off of a brutal winter, but they are bringing hope to thousands who otherwise would have none.”
Quadrant Homes believes in corporate responsibility, and employees regularly support the community through grants, sponsorships and volunteer activities.
