FAQ
Q. Are socks important for cancer patients?
A. Yes! Not only are hospitals freezing but side effects from treatment can also cause cold feet. A lot of times too, when a patient is in the hospital, socks are one of the only items of ‘your own’ that can be worn. So we believe they should be fun! Cancer is hard enough.
Q. What kind of socks do you send?
A. We do our best to find the perfect match for the patient (pun intended) - from fuzzy to Lion King, unicorns to pizza, orange to polka dots. This is the very reason a variety of sock donations is always a big need of ours!
Q. are the care packages really free to send?
A. Yes! 100% by design. Cancer is hard and it’s hard for people to know what to do when their loved one is diagnosed. We intentionally want this to be a very easy way for you to step in and show up for the cancer patient in your life in a meaningful way.
