Tom Jackson’s charity brings socks to Halifax mission [Video]

The Souls Harbour Rescue Mission drop-in centre in Halifax, N.S., had a special visitor on Friday — and he came bearing gifts.

Canadian actor and singer Tom Jackson delivered socks to the rescue mission as part of a campaign to save lives this Christmas.

“We have a project called ‘Santa’s “Crazy Sox” Box,’” Jackson said. “We were trying to figure out how we could motivate people across the country to start their own Santa cause.”

Jackson said they collected socks because “it saves the lives of people who live in the cold.”

Michelle Porter is the co-founder and CEO of the Souls Harbour rescue mission. She said having someone like Tom Jackson “is a gift in and of itself.”

“I think there are so many ways we can bless one of our neighbours and we just have to get creative in the way that we do it,” Porter said.
